Workspaces let you manage multiple products or business units with different infrastructure and compliance frameworks while still sharing company-wide operations such as personnel, vendors, and assets.
Each Workspace contains its own compliance data, while certain resources remain shared across the organization.
Prerequisites
The Workspaces feature must be enabled for your tenant.
Must have a Drata Admin role to:
Create or delete a workspace
Add or remove frameworks for a Workspace
Assign/remove a Workspace Manager
Rule: You cannot create or manage multiple Workspaces until this feature is enabled.
Create a Workspace
When your Drata tenant is provisioned, a primary workspace is created automatically.
To add additional Workspaces:
Go to Settings page.
Select Organization > Workspaces page.
Select Create workspace
Complete the required information.
Select Add.
An informational message appears while Drata builds the required frameworks and tests for the new Workspace. This process may take a few minutes.
Delete a Workspace
Primary workspaces are required and cannot be removed. Only Admins can delete Workspaces.
This action cannot be undone.
Select a workspace.
Select Delete workspace.
Confirm when prompted.
Add or remove frameworks for a Workspace
Select a workspace.
Select Edit for the Frameworks section.
Select the X next to a framework to remove it, or search and select a framework to add one.
Select Save.
Result: Enabled frameworks become clickable on the Frameworks page for that Workspace.
Frameworks are enabled per Workspace, not from the Frameworks page.
Framework availability depends on your purchase agreement.
Frameworks must be activated at the tenant level before they can be enabled for individual Workspaces.
If a framework isn’t visible, contact your Account Manager.
AI-related features such as the AI Awareness Training Campaign and the Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) template depend on specific frameworks like NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 being activated.
Assign connections to a Workspace
When setting up Infrastructure, Observability, Ticketing, Version Control, Codebase, CSPM, Vulnerability, or Custom connections, you can select the specific Workspaces to associate with the connection. Other connection types apply across all Workspaces.
Example: AWS GovCloud is an Infrastructure connection. When you set one up, the first step of the setup wizard is Select Workspace — if your account uses Workspaces, you choose which Workspace to associate with that AWS GovCloud connection before moving on to the rest of setup (creating the IAM role, entering the Role ARN, and configuring scope).
Use the Workspace picker
The Workspace picker lets you switch between Workspaces. Select a Workspace to view and manage information for that particular Workspace.
Navigation menu for Workspaces
The nav bar is grouped into two labeled sections:
Workspace (top section): Quick Start, Dashboard, Recommendations, Tasks, Compliance, Events, Personnel. These reflect information specific to the selected Workspace.
Organization (bottom section, applies across all Workspaces): Risk, Vendors, Governance.
Compliance, Risk, and Governance are parent menus, not final destinations — selecting one expands into more specific pages.
Summary
Workspaces let you:
Isolate compliance data by product or business unit
Share core operational data across the organization
Manage frameworks, connections, and navigation intentionally
Customers need to manage multiple products or business lines that have different infrastructure and compliance framework needs while sharing operations such as personnel, vendors, and assets
