Important Notes

  • Shortcut was previously known as Clubhouse.

  • Ensure your Shortcut API token is kept secure; avoid sharing or embedding it in documentation.

  • Drata’s integration is read-only and follows the principle of least privilege.

  • Drata’s autopilot scans Shortcut daily for vulnerability tickets and collects evidence that they were resolved within the timeframe defined by your Vulnerability Management Policy.

  • Shortcut integration is designed to work with existing tags and labels. Drata adapts to your workflow and does not require creating new ones.
