Workspaces: Multiple product support

Learn how to use Workspaces in the new Drata experience to manage multiple products with shared operations and separate compliance needs.

⚠️ Select your experience

How you navigate to the Workspaces: Multiple Product Support page depends on your interface version. Select a link to skip to the instructions for your version.

Customers who joined Drata on or after Feb 24, 2026 are automatically on the New Experience.

Instructions for the New Experience ⬇️

Workspaces let you manage multiple products or business units that have:

  • Different infrastructure

  • Different compliance frameworks

while still sharing company-wide operations, such as:

  • Personnel

  • Vendors

  • Assets

Each Workspace contains its own compliance data, while certain resources remain shared across the organization.


Prerequisites

  • Workspaces – Multiple Product Support must be enabled for your tenant.

  • This feature is enabled by your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

Rule: You cannot create or manage multiple Workspaces until this feature is enabled.


Add a Workspace

When your Drata tenant is provisioned, a primary workspace is created automatically.

To add additional Workspaces:

  1. Go to Settings page.

  2. Select Organization > Workspaces page.

  3. Select Add workspace.

  4. Complete the required information.

  5. 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.

  1. Select a workspace.

  2. Select Delete workspace.

  3. Confirm when prompted.


Manage frameworks by 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 CSM or Account Manager.


Add or remove frameworks

  1. Select a workspace.

  2. Select Edit for the Frameworks section.

    • Select X to remove a framework

    • Search and select a framework to add one

  3. Select Save.

Result: Enabled frameworks become clickable on the Frameworks page for that Workspace.

Exception: If purchased frameworks still don’t appear, contact Drata Support to confirm tenant-level activation.


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


Instructions for the Classic Experience ⬇️

BEFORE DIVING IN

  • Workspaces - Multiple Product Support must be enabled by your Customer Success Manager.

Add a Workspace

When your tenant is provisioned in Drata, your primary workspace is created. To create additional workspaces:

  1. Select your username, then choose Settings.

  2. On the Settings page, select the Company Info card under the Company Settings section.

  3. Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select 'Add Workspace'.

    • The workspace with the star icon is your primary workspace.

  4. Complete the requested information in the Add Workspace drawer and select 'Add'.

  5. An informational modal will appear, informing you that Drata takes a few minutes to build the associated frameworks and tests for your new workspace. Select 'Continue' to acknowledge and continue.

Delete a Workspace

Note: This action cannot be undone.

Drata Admins can delete a workspace. Primary workspaces cannot be deleted.

  1. Select your username, then choose Settings.

  2. On the Settings page, select the Company Info card under the Company Settings section.

  3. Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select Edit for the workspace to delete.

  4. Select the Delete button.

  5. A confirmation modal will appear, prompting you to confirm the deletion.

Frameworks

Once a Workspace has been created, you can add or remove Frameworks from workspaces. You must enable a Framework from the Workspaces section, not the Frameworks page. Framework availability is also determined by purchase agreements and must first be enabled at the tenant level. Contact your CSM or Account Manager to purchase or enable additional Frameworks.

  • NOTE: Frameworks require tenant-level activation to ensure visibility in newly created or default workspaces. Without this step, frameworks may not appear in the Workspaces list.

To enable a Framework from the Workspaces section:

If frameworks are missing or not visible despite being purchased, reach out to the Drata Support Team to ensure they are activated at the tenant-level.

  1. Select your username, then choose Settings.

  2. On the Settings page, select the Company Info card under the Company Settings section.

  3. Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select Edit.

  4. In the drawer, you can add or remove frameworks.

    • To remove a framework, select the X next to it.

    • To add a framework, search and select the framework from the dropdown menu.

  5. Save your changes.

Now, the cards on the Frameworks page for any enabled Frameworks on that Workspace will be clickable. If frameworks still do not appear despite following these steps, contact Drata Support for further assistance.

Connections

When setting up Infrastructure, Observability, Ticketing, Version Control, Codebase, CSPM, and Vulnerability Scanning connections, you can select the specific Workspaces to associate to the connection. Other connection types apply across all Workspaces. To learn more about Drata's connections, go to our connections articles.

Workspace Picker

The Workspace picker allows you to switch between Workspaces. Select a Workspace to view and manage information for that particular Workspace.

Navigation

The navigation bar is separated by color into two main sections: Workspace-specific and company-wide information. The top, lighter blue section includes Workspace-specific pages: Dashboard, Controls, Frameworks, Monitoring, Event Tracking and Evidence Library. These reflect information specific to the selected Workspace. The bottom, darker blue section includes pages that apply to all Workspaces (across the tenant): Risk Assessment, Risk Management, Vendors, Assets, Personnel and Policy Center.

*Only controls for the primary workspace can be mapped to risks. Ability to map controls from any workspace to risks is coming soon!
