About Echelon Risk + Cyber

About Echelon Risk + Cyber

Echelon Risk + Cyber is a cybersecurity professional services firm operating at the intersection of Drata platform expertise and real-world security and compliance execution. We don’t just help organizations turn on Drata - we help them make Drata work.

As a Drata partner, we implement, configure, and operationalize Drata while helping organizations build and sustain security programs aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001. Our teams understand how Drata works and what auditors expect to see. Where many partners stop at readiness, Echelon goes further with hands-on managed services that close common control gaps and support cybersecurity posture end to end.

  • Inc. 5000 honoree (2025) - ranked No. 433 overall (top 10% fastest-growing U.S. companies)

How We Help Drata Customers Succeed

Drata Platform Services (Implementation + Enablement)

  • Control mapping and framework alignment
  • Evidence workflows, ownership models, and automation tuning
  • Continuous readiness support to keep Drata accurate year-round

vCISO-Led Security Team as a Service: Security leadership plus a scalable team to design, build, and run your program - integrated with Drata so governance, risk, and controls stay aligned as you grow.

Risk Advisory + GRC: Readiness assessments, internal audits, evidence preparation, and program build-out aligned to leading frameworks, operationalized inside Drata.

Technical Managed Security Services: Defensive services that close the gaps Drata surfaces: control hardening, architecture support, endpoint/cloud/identity improvements, and continuous validation. 

Offensive + Defensive Security: Realistic testing and remediation support to validate controls, reduce attack surface, and ensure what’s documented in Drata holds up in practice.

The Echelon Difference

Full-team. All-in. Dedicated, multidisciplinary support beyond go-live.

Always-on readiness. Real resilience. Drata as the system of record — Echelon as the partner that makes it real.

Worked with the Echelon team for a pen test & vulnerability assessment. The process was very smooth and I'd recommend them to anyone else looking for a pen test vendor!

We used Echelon Risk + Cyber for the first time to do our web application penetration testing this year. The experience was great as the team worked with our tight timelines and provided a thorough breakdown of what they would be doing and how long it would take, as well as any testing constraints that we required. Any questions we had were answered promptly and there were no delays in the process. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a partner to perform their penetration testing.

We worked with Echelon Risk + Cyber for our annual third party pen test. Echelon did a great job tailoring their offering to our needs and company size, while still keeping the test honest and valuable. They communicated regularly and clearly what they were doing and when, which made the collaboration very efficient. Their report was easy to understand and findings were valid. I especially appreciate that they employ skilled security professionals that do more than simply run a test script.
