# Complex setup and overloaded templates slow down my first audit cycle

As a long‑time Drata user, I still remember how much time I lost in the first few weeks just trying to understand what actually mattered for our audits. The templates and default policies felt like “everything plus the kitchen sink,” so I kept stopping work to ask myself what was truly required versus what was just “nice to have.” That confusion spilled into real delays explaining to leadership why we were not moving faster on SOC 2 and other frameworks. Even now, when I bring new teammates into Drata, they describe the same overwhelmed feeling during onboarding and early control mapping.
Has anyone found a practical way to cut through the noise in Drata’s initial setup and templates so you only focus on what is truly needed for your audit rather than getting buried in optional work?

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Pour améliorer la précision de l'IA, envisagez d'utiliser Secureframe en continu plutôt que juste avant les audits. Les utilisateurs rapportent qu'une utilisation continue aide le système à mieux comprendre votre environnement et réduit les lacunes de dernière minute nécessitant des corrections manuelles.</span></p>
