Drata

Automated compliance and security monitoring.

About Drata

Drata automates the pain of compliance (SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA). It works by continuously monitoring your stack. Integrating Drata is mandatory for compliance; it must connect to your HRIS (to verify background checks), your Version Control (to verify code reviews), and your Cloud Provider (to verify encryption) to prove you are secure.

Integration Capabilities

Drata has 3 native integrations with leading business platforms. Connect via direct API, webhooks, or third-party automation tools for unlimited possibilities.

Browse Drata integrations below. Green integrations are native and free. Yellow integrations require an automation platform like Make ↗ to sync data.

Common Integration Patterns

→ Continuous Monitoring: Read-only connections to AWS/GCP to verify encryption and backup settings every 24 hours.
→ HRIS Onboarding: Automatically flagging 'New Hires' who haven't completed security training or accepted policies via Rippling/Gusto sync.
→ Ticket Evidence: Automatically creating Jira tickets when a control fails (e.g., 'S3 Bucket Public') and linking the resolution as evidence.

Integration Challenges

⚠ Agent Deployment: Getting the Drata agent installed on every employee laptop (MDM integration) is the #1 friction point.
⚠ False Positives: Infrastructure tests often fail for valid reasons (e.g., a public S3 bucket meant for website assets). You must configure exclusions.
⚠ User Terminaton Sync: If HRIS sync lags, Drata will flag 'Terminated user still has AWS access', causing a compliance alert.

Before You Integrate

1. Exclude Non-Prod: Tag your non-production AWS resources correctly so Drata doesn't flag them for failing production-level controls.
2. Verify Admin Owners: Ensure every vendor connected has a clear 'Owner' in Drata responsible for uploading manual evidence.
3. Test Ticket Creation: Verify that a failed test actually creates a Jira ticket in the correct project board.
