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 processes 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.

  • Eliminate stale personnel records that create compliance gaps
  • Automatically trigger security awareness training enrollment for new hires
  • Ensure terminated employee records are updated in Drata within minutes of offboarding

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.

  • Real-time control evidence updates instead of waiting for scheduled syncs
  • Instant alerting when a cloud configuration change could violate a control
  • Automated remediation workflows triggered by Drata control failures

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.

  • Automated multi-channel reminders for overdue training without manual follow-up
  • Manager escalations triggered automatically after configurable grace periods
  • Centralized completion dashboards updated in real time from Drata data

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.

  • Automatically create Drata vendor records when new suppliers are onboarded
  • Trigger security questionnaire workflows without manual intervention
  • Sync vendor risk assessment results back to your procurement or GRC system

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.

  • Distribute policy acknowledgment requests via preferred communication channels
  • Automatically record completed acknowledgments as Drata evidence
  • Sync approved exceptions from Jira or ServiceNow into Drata's risk register

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.

  • Automatically surface failing controls as prioritized tasks before audit deadlines
  • Reduce evidence-gathering time with automated document compilation workflows
  • Keep executive stakeholders informed with scheduled compliance status reports

Build Drata Agents

Give agents secure and governed access to Drata through Agent Builder and Agent Gateway for MCP.

Retrieve Compliance Controls

Data Source

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.

Look Up Evidence Records

Data Source

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.

Fetch Personnel Records

Data Source

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.

Monitor Control Test Results

Data Source

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.

Retrieve Vendor Risk Assessments

Data Source

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.

Check Policy Status

Data Source

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.

Retrieve Audit Readiness Reports

Data Source

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.

Update Control Status

Agent Tool

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.

Upload Evidence

Agent Tool

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.

Create and Assign Tasks

Agent Tool

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.

Trigger Policy Review Requests

Agent Tool

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.

Onboard New Personnel

Agent Tool

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.

Flag Vendor Risk Issues

Agent Tool

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.

Challenges Tray.ai solves

Common obstacles when integrating Drata — and how Tray.ai handles them.

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 helps

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 helps

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 helps

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.
