## Overview

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.

## Use cases

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 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.

- Instant cross-channel alerting when Drata detects control failures
- Automatic ticket creation with full Drata context for faster remediation
- SLA tracking and escalation to ensure compliance issues are resolved on time

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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 helps:** 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.

### 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 helps:** 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.
