💡 Still using the classic Drata experience? Refer to Vendor suggestions for the original UI.
Vendor suggestions helps you identify vendors automatically based on the connections you’ve set up in Drata and the applications configured in your Okta SSO. This reduces manual entry and helps ensure your vendor inventory is complete.
Suggested vendors can be reviewed and added to Current vendors in a few clicks.
Prerequisites
Vendor suggestions are available only on the Advanced bundle.
To receive suggestions from Okta:
Okta SSO must be configured
Access reviews must be enabled
If Okta or Access Reviews are not enabled, Okta applications are not suggested.
How vendor suggestions work
Vendor suggestions are generated from:
Active connections in Connections
Applications discovered through Okta SSO
Suggestions appear as vendor names only. After adding a suggested vendor, you must complete the remaining vendor details.
Add vendors for the first time
If no vendors exist yet:
Select Vendors from the left navigation.
On the Get started page, select Get started.
Review the suggested vendors based on your connections and Okta applications.
Select the vendors you want to add.
Continue to add them to Current vendors.
If Okta or Access Reviews are not enabled, Okta applications are not included in suggestions.
Add additional vendors using suggestions
If you already have vendors in your directory:
Select Vendors → Current vendors.
Review suggested vendors displayed at the top of the page.
Select Review suggestions.
In the modal:
Select Add to add a vendor
Select Ignore to permanently dismiss the suggestion
Ignored vendors are not suggested again.
Verify added vendors
After adding vendors through suggestions:
You are returned to Current vendors
Newly added vendors are highlighted temporarily

Only the vendor name is added automatically.
After adding vendor suggestions, review the vendor details to ensure everything is accurate. From there, you can assign an owner, begin the vendor security review or risk assessment process, and continue monitoring the vendor’s compliance status as part of your ongoing security program.
