Find out what the client actually needs.
A disk encryption record shows a device setting. A SOC 2 report comes from an independent examination of company controls. Confirm which kind of evidence the client needs.
Ask which devices and dates the review covers, and whether policies, supplier reviews or an audit report are required. Assign those tasks before choosing software.
Controls, risks and assurance in one programme.
Drata covers compliance automation, risk management, a Trust Center and questionnaire workflows. It collects evidence through connected systems. That wider view helps a team organise evidence beyond its devices. Drata platform overview
Its device agent is a specific component: it reads configuration information and normally synchronises daily. That is different from changing a Mac’s settings or acting as its malware protection. Drata also documents an integration that collects endpoint protection evidence from SentinelOne. How the device agent works Endpoint evidence integration
Agent governance has its own scope.
Drata’s AI Agent Governance is in limited availability. It describes policy enforcement before an agent action and a record of decisions. Drata also offers assistant access through MCP. Compare the supported actions, connections and evidence with the work your team needs to do. Agent Governance scope Assistant connection guide
Device security and compliance, compared.

| The job | cybee | Drata |
|---|---|---|
| Protection on the Mac | Behavioural detection, signatures and local content inspection. | The device agent observes configuration. Endpoint evidence can also come from connected protection products. |
| Improving settings | Free CIS scoring. Paid hardening applies settings and maintains them. | Track controls and their evidence within the compliance programme. |
| Answering the client | A dated, sealed device record with visible scope. | Bring controls, risks, evidence, questionnaires and a Trust Center together. |
| Business responsibilities | Does not take over policy governance, supplier reviews or an independent audit. | A broader system for organising that compliance work. |
Confirm the modules and connections included in the arrangement you are considering. Match each responsibility to the tool and person that will handle it.
When the founder owns the answer.
If the immediate problem is protecting the Macs used for client work, cybee is a direct place to start. Protection, alerts, posture scoring and unsealed reports are free. The paid plan applies and maintains hardening, adds the sealed Trust Passport and includes security training.
You work through your assistant. Review a finding, confirm a proposed change and inspect the result. Alerts can be shared through Slack, Teams or SMS.
If the client also requires policies, supplier reviews or an audit, plan for those separately. Device evidence covers one part of the review.
Keep the programme. Strengthen its evidence.
If the company already uses Drata, there is no reason to dismantle its control ownership or audit workflow just to add device protection. Decide which device facts the reviewer needs, how those facts will be checked and where they belong in your existing process.
Define the request
Name the Macs, control and observation period.
Establish the facts
Use cybee to review protection, settings and open findings.
Use the right record
Check the relevant record and include it in your review process.
Confirm how your review process accepts device evidence. There is no confirmed native cybee–Drata connector or automatic transfer, and the reviewer decides whether the record is sufficient.
Know what the record actually answers.
The device Trust Passport covers observed controls on the Macs it lists. It shows dates, assessed coverage and gaps. The reader checks that the page has not changed after sealing against cybee’s sealed copy. That is an integrity check, not independent certification of the business.
Google Workspace adds a separate connected accounts record. Visibility is free. Sealed account records and offboarding evidence are paid. Training completion is also recorded separately. Read those sources together without pretending that a device record now answers every question about accounts, people or business practices.
Price the work you are buying.
Drata provides personalised pricing. Ask which frameworks, modules, connections and support are included. Drata plans
cybee costs 9 per Mac per month or 90 yearly for the paid plan. CHF, EUR and USD use the same face value, excluding tax. Compare this device scope with the scope of the wider programme, rather than treating the two prices as equivalent purchases. Start with the protection you need and add the evidence your review calls for.
Common questions.
Does cybee replace Drata?
Not as a broad compliance platform. cybee adds protection, hardening and dated technical evidence. Policies, supplier reviews and audit workflows remain separate responsibilities.
Is the Drata device agent a protection product?
The documented device agent reads configuration. That is not the same as endpoint protection. This describes the device agent, not Drata’s entire platform or its limited availability Agent Governance product.
Can cybee work alongside Drata?
The jobs complement each other. Keep existing tools and confirm compatibility and evidence requirements. Agree how the relevant evidence will be reviewed within your existing process.
