Getting started with our Drata integration

Updated over a week ago

With our Drata integration you can send scan reports directly to the Reports & Docs section of Drata, streamlining and simplifying your compliance process.


Adding the integration

On the Drata Site

Log in to https://app.drata.com > Click on your profile name > Settings

Select API Keys


Click 'Create API Key':

Fill out the Create API Key Form using the guidance below and be sure to save it:

Intruder Portal

  1. Go to the Intruder Integrations page > Drata integration:

Paste the API key, enter the region (North America/Europe) and click Connect:

If you see the following error message, please confirm your Drata region and hit the 'Try Again' button:

  • Select the workspace you want the vulnerability reports to be sent to and the user you want to be marked as the owner.

  • Select Quarterly Vulnerability Scan (DCF-18)
    (If you don't see it show up, simply search DCF-18 and select it that way. This shouldn't be an issue, unless you have changed the control name in your environment).

  • Select the Owner.

Your integration is now set up!
