Automate Compliance Workflows with Drata Integrations
Connect Drata to your entire tech stack to continuously monitor security controls, sync employee data, and keep your compliance program audit-ready without manual effort.
What can you do with the Drata connector?
Drata is a security and compliance automation platform that helps organizations achieve and maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other certifications through continuous control monitoring. Integrating Drata with your HR systems, identity providers, ticketing tools, and cloud infrastructure means compliance evidence is collected automatically rather than scrambled for at audit time. With tray.ai, you can build workflows that keep Drata in sync with every system that touches your people, assets, and processes.
Automate & integrate Drata
Automating Drata business process or integrating Drata data is made easy with tray.ai
Use case
Automated Employee Onboarding and Offboarding Compliance
When a new hire is added in your HRIS or an employee is terminated, tray.ai can instantly update Drata personnel records, trigger access reviews, and confirm that security training assignments are created or revoked. This eliminates the manual lag between HR changes and compliance system updates — the kind of lag that shows up as audit findings. Keeping Drata personnel data current means your user access evidence is always accurate.
Use case
Continuous Control Evidence Collection from Cloud Infrastructure
Connect Drata to AWS, GCP, or Azure event streams so that infrastructure changes — new repositories, changed security group rules, or updated IAM policies — are immediately reflected in your control evidence. Rather than waiting for Drata's scheduled polling, tray.ai can push real-time signals to Drata or trigger remediation workflows when a control is at risk of failing. This keeps your compliance posture accurate between audit cycles.
Use case
Security Training Completion Tracking and Escalation
Pull security training completion status from Drata and cross-reference it with your LMS or HR platform to identify employees who are overdue. tray.ai can automatically send reminder messages via Slack or email, escalate to managers after a defined deadline, and update a tracking dashboard in real time. This removes the manual chasing that compliance teams spend hours on every quarter.
Use case
Vendor Risk Management Automation
When a new vendor is added to your procurement system or contract management tool, tray.ai can automatically create a vendor record in Drata, kick off a security questionnaire workflow, and set review reminders. Completed assessments can then be written back to your vendor management system, keeping security and procurement data in sync. This closes the gap between business decisions and compliance tracking.
Use case
Policy Acknowledgment and Exception Tracking
Use tray.ai to distribute policy acknowledgment requests from Drata through Slack or email, collect responses, and write completed acknowledgments back to Drata automatically. When policy exceptions are approved in your ticketing system, those exceptions can be synced to Drata to maintain an accurate risk register. Your policy evidence stays complete and current without compliance teams manually chasing signatures.
Use case
Audit Preparation and Evidence Packaging
In the weeks before an audit, tray.ai workflows can query Drata for control status, identify failing or incomplete controls, and automatically create prioritized tasks in your project management tool for the compliance team. Evidence packages can be compiled and shared with auditors through automated document workflows, cutting down dramatically on last-minute scrambling. Custom status reports can be pushed to stakeholder dashboards on a scheduled cadence.
Use case
Real-Time Compliance Alerting and Incident Response
When Drata detects a control failure or a new vulnerability, tray.ai can immediately route that alert to the right team in Slack, create a Jira ticket with full context, and trigger your incident response runbook. Response SLAs can be tracked and escalated automatically if tickets remain unresolved. Drata's monitoring data becomes an actionable, time-bound response workflow instead of an email that gets lost.
Build Drata Agents
Give agents secure and governed access to Drata through Agent Builder and Agent Gateway for MCP.
Data Source
Retrieve Compliance Controls
An agent can fetch the status of compliance controls across frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA to assess an organization's overall compliance posture. This makes automated compliance reviews and gap analysis possible.
Data Source
Look Up Evidence Records
An agent can retrieve evidence collected for specific controls, including metadata, upload dates, and expiry status. Handy for auditing workflows or catching stale and missing evidence before an audit hits.
Data Source
Fetch Personnel Records
An agent can pull employee compliance data such as training completion, background check status, and policy acknowledgments. This surfaces non-compliant personnel and triggers remediation workflows.
Data Source
Monitor Control Test Results
An agent can query automated control test results to identify failing or at-risk controls in real time, so teams can prioritize remediation before small problems become audit findings.
Data Source
Retrieve Vendor Risk Assessments
An agent can access third-party vendor risk data, including assessment status and risk scores, to support vendor due diligence workflows. This keeps your picture of supply chain risk from going stale.
Data Source
Check Policy Status
An agent can look up the approval and review status of compliance policies to identify outdated or unacknowledged documents — useful for policy lifecycle management and staying audit-ready.
Data Source
Retrieve Audit Readiness Reports
An agent can pull audit readiness scores and summaries across compliance frameworks to give stakeholders a snapshot of preparation status. Good for generating executive-level compliance briefings without the manual assembly.
Agent Tool
Update Control Status
An agent can update the status of compliance controls in Drata to reflect remediation progress or mark them as resolved, keeping records current without someone doing it by hand.
Agent Tool
Upload Evidence
An agent can automatically attach evidence artifacts to the appropriate controls in Drata, cutting down on manual effort and making sure controls get documented while the evidence is still fresh.
Agent Tool
Create and Assign Tasks
An agent can create remediation tasks in Drata and assign them to the right team members the moment a control failure or compliance gap is detected. Faster response, clearer ownership.
Agent Tool
Trigger Policy Review Requests
An agent can kick off policy review workflows in Drata so documents get reviewed and approved on schedule. Policies won't quietly fall out of date between audits.
Agent Tool
Onboard New Personnel
An agent can add new employees to Drata and assign required compliance training or policy acknowledgments as part of an automated onboarding workflow, so new hires aren't a compliance gap on day one.
Agent Tool
Flag Vendor Risk Issues
An agent can update vendor risk records or escalate vendor assessments in Drata when new risk information comes in from connected tools, keeping third-party risk data accurate and ready to act on.

Drata Challenges
What challenges are there when working with Drata and how will using Tray.ai help?
Challenge
Keeping Personnel Data in Sync Across HR and Compliance Systems
Compliance teams frequently discover that Drata's personnel roster is out of date — missing new hires, still listing former employees, or showing incorrect roles — because HR systems and compliance platforms are updated on different schedules by different teams. These gaps directly create audit findings around user access controls.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai creates event-driven workflows that listen to changes in your HRIS and immediately push those updates to Drata, eliminating the sync lag. No more manual CSV exports or weekly reconciliation tasks — personnel records stay accurate in real time.
Challenge
Translating Drata Control Failures into Actionable Engineering Tasks
When Drata flags a failing control, the notification often lands in a compliance manager's inbox rather than in the workflow of the engineer or IT admin who actually needs to fix it. The handoff from compliance alert to remediation task is slow and often loses critical context about what needs to change and why.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai routes Drata control failure webhooks directly into Jira, ServiceNow, or Linear with structured context — including the control name, framework mapping, and remediation steps — so the right team has an actionable ticket within seconds of the failure being detected.
Challenge
Managing Multi-Framework Compliance Across a Distributed Team
Organizations pursuing SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA simultaneously have to coordinate evidence collection, policy acknowledgments, and training across multiple frameworks and dozens of stakeholders. Without automation, compliance managers become the bottleneck for every data-gathering task.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai orchestrates multi-step workflows that pull evidence from cloud providers, HR systems, and ticketing tools simultaneously and feed it into the appropriate Drata controls. Scheduled workflows handle recurring tasks like training reminders and access reviews automatically, so compliance managers can focus on work that actually requires their judgment.
Challenge
Scaling Vendor Risk Reviews Without Adding Headcount
As a company grows, the volume of vendors requiring security reviews scales faster than the compliance team can handle manually. Sending questionnaires, chasing responses, recording outcomes, and scheduling annual reviews becomes an operational bottleneck that delays business relationships and creates compliance gaps.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai automates the entire vendor lifecycle in Drata — from record creation triggered by procurement events, to questionnaire dispatch, follow-up reminders, response recording, and annual review scheduling — so the compliance team handles exceptions rather than routine process steps.
Challenge
Building Audit-Ready Evidence Packages Without Last-Minute Chaos
Audit preparation is notoriously stressful because teams scramble to locate evidence, identify gaps, and remediate failing controls under time pressure. Compliance managers often have no real-time visibility into which controls are passing or failing until they manually review Drata control-by-control.
How Tray.ai Can Help:
tray.ai runs scheduled workflows that continuously surface Drata control status to project management tools and dashboards, so gaps are visible weeks before the audit rather than days before. Automated evidence compilation workflows cut the manual effort of packaging artifacts for auditor review.
