One platform instead of a stack of tools.
Detection, cloud, vulnerabilities, access and the compliance work around them usually come from separate vendors, each with its own agent, console and bill. orta covers them on one platform, quoted for your estate.
What orta replaces.
Each line is a tool teams usually buy, deploy and renew on its own. With orta it is a module on the same platform, the same agent and the same evidence.

Where a SOC 2 budget actually goes.
The audit fee is only one line of the bill. The assessment before it, the evidence and the documents take most of the money and the months. That is the part orta takes off the bill.

A first SOC 2 typically costs $30,000 to $150,000 all in.2 Most of that is the work before and around the audit.

What you no longer pay for.
The pre-assessment
Without orta: A consultant-led gap or readiness assessment: $5,000 to $25,000 and weeks of interviews before any real work starts (Drata estimate).
With orta: One guided interview, by text or voice, plus the policies and spreadsheets you already have. orta builds the gap analysis from them.
Writing policies from scratch
Without orta: Templates bought, rewritten by hand, out of date by the next audit.
With orta: orta drafts the full policy set from your answers, versioned, and flags documents that no longer match the facts.
Screenshots as evidence
Without orta: Someone collects screenshots and exports the month before the auditor arrives.
With orta: Checks on your hosts, clusters and AWS run every day and mark each control passing or failing.
Doing it again for every framework
Without orta: SOC 2 this year, ISO 27001 next year, NIS 2 after that. A SOC 2 Type 2 alone takes 6 to 12 months (Drata). Same work, three times.
With orta: 283 common controls map to 18 frameworks. A check that passes once counts everywhere it applies.
Chasing people for answers
Without orta: Email threads and meetings to find out how HR, IT and legal actually work.
With orta: Send each topic to the person who knows it. They answer in a link, by text or voice, and you approve what goes in.
Triaging every alert by hand
Without orta: An engineer reads each alert, pulls the process tree and decides whether it is real.
With orta: AI triage gives each alert a verdict, the story and the next steps, within your plan's hourly limit.
A VPN and jump hosts
Without orta: A flat network behind a VPN, plus bastions to patch and watch.
With orta: Zero trust access opens one app at a time, after identity and device checks.
Standing admin rights and access reviews
Without orta: Admins keep access forever, and someone chases quarterly reviews in a spreadsheet.
With orta: Just-in-time access expires on its own and leaves the review evidence behind.
An agent per tool
Without orta: One agent for detection, another for vulnerabilities, another for compliance checks.
With orta: One orta agent on Linux, Kubernetes and Windows; clouds connect without one.
Four tools for one job
Without orta: Separate products for runtime detection, cloud posture, vulnerabilities and GRC, and nobody connects them.
With orta: A single platform for all of it. A failing check updates the control, the frameworks and the risk at once.
