Most Requested Features
Streamlined vendor security reviews
Managing security reviews for prospective vendors can be challenging due to the need for thorough evaluations and documentation of each vendor’s security posture. Drata simplifies this process with a structured flow to conduct security reviews, ability to document, and track reviews for prospective vendors. You can:
Track prospective vendors and conduct reviews in a separate tab apart from your current vendors.
Conduct, share and track security reviews.
Document security decisions and download review summaries.
Add observations to reviews.
For those on the TPRM plan, you can also convert these observations into risks for TPRM customers.
For those on the TPRM plan, view the AI functionality (such as Questionnaire AI summary) and automated Impact Assessment functionality all within the context of your vendor security review.

Revamped Quick Start experience

Get value from Drata faster with our new Quick Start page. This page highlights core activities around automation and continuous monitoring. Features include:
Clear section titles and descriptions.

Linked documentation for additional information.

Multiple Instance Management (MIM) dashboard
Note: This feature is available to all MIM Service Users, including MSSPs and MIM customers. Each service user will retain their access to managed Business Accounts, with navigation between the new MIM Dashboard and individual accounts remaining unchanged.
By providing a clearer way to view how multiple business accounts are performing in terms of their compliance journey, we are replacing the account list page with a new MIM Dashboard. Here's what you can do with the new dashboard:
View a Business Account table (which is the replacement for Accounts list page).
Access Account, Workspace, and Framework levels metrics and prioritize which business accounts to focus on first.
Monitor compliance metric health, such as:
Active/Failing Connections.
Total % of Tests Passing/Failing.
Framework Readiness.
Different Types of Tests (such as Infrastructure) that are failing or passing.
Learn more at MIM Dashboard.
Latest Improvements
New event for tracking errors related to infrastructure connections
On our Event Tracking page, we created a new event that allows you to track and view past misconfigurations on infrastructure connections. This feature helps you easily identify and address issues, ensuring smoother and more reliable connections.
Slack notifications for control evidence updates
Admins can now configure notifications to directly notify personnels on Slacks for control evidence.
Role administration navigation
View permissions links on the Role Administration page now take you directly to the help articles for individual roles (such as Admin, Information Security Lead, Control Manager), so that you can access specific role-related information directly, rather than through the general knowledge about roles.
Risk ID displayed
Risk drawer headers now display the risk ID alongside the risk name.
Background check status for personnel
Within My Drata, we've added various background check statuses to track personnel progress.
