The New Drata Experience is a foundational UX layer that reduces friction in day-to-day tasks while supporting enterprise scale, structured data, and future AI-driven automation.
During the preview period, you’re always in control. You can switch to the new experience and back at any time.
What’s New in the New Experience
This article explains the key UI changes so you can quickly get oriented.
Header overview
The redesigned header improves orientation and workspace management:
Company logo appears prominently in the top-left
Workspace switcher (if enabled) appears in the top-left so you can toggle between environments
User profile menu appears in the top-right for account-related actions
Tables overview (consistent enterprise-grade tables)
Tables are now consistent across the platform, offering a standardized interface designed for large datasets.
Common improvements include:
Pinning and reordering columns to prioritize what matters most
Column resizing for better readability
Real-time filtering to quickly narrow results
Inline actions and dropdowns to complete tasks without opening multiple pages
Why this matters:
These improvements make it easier to work with large datasets, understand what needs attention at a glance, and take action without switching contexts.
Panels overview
Panels and full detail pages replace drawers, improving visibility into object relationships (controls, evidence, tests, and risks) while maintaining user context. In many cases, you can also perform quick actions directly from the preview.
Benefits:
Fewer clicks to validate context
Faster decision-making when reviewing items
Less page-switching when triaging work
Example use cases: Preview key evidences while reviewing a list of evidences for a specific control.
Utilities bar overview (right-side tool access)
The new utilities bar appears on the right-hand side in areas where it applies, giving you quick access to helpful tools.
Notes: Add comments per item/object (such as a control) to capture context for teammates.
Tickets: If you’re connected to a ticket integration, create tickets directly from the context of an object.
Tasks: View or create assigned actions or due dates in context.
Why this matters:
You can do more “in place” while reviewing work, rather than navigating into separate pages to create tickets or tasks.
