HERE'S WHY

The 'Monitoring' page provides you one place to see the status of your security controls.

BEFORE DIVING IN

Only admins or information security leads have access to this section within Drata.

HERE'S HOW

At the top of the monitoring page, you will see an overall summary including percent 'Of Tests Passed', as well as number of 'Failed Tests' and 'Passed Tests'.

On the left column (see the image below), you are able to filter by particular test results, test status, or category.

At the top, you will see a search bar enabling you to search for a specific test.

On the far right, you will see when the test was last run along with two icons. The first icon identifies the category of the test (see list below). The second denotes whether the test was passed (green checkmark) or failed (red minus).

If a test has failed, you will note a 'Fix Now' button on the far right.

If you click 'Fix Now', a drawer will open providing more details on why the test failed and providing direction on how to fix it. Once the drawer is open, if you select the blue 'Fix Now' button, you will be taken to the page in Drata in which the action is needed.

Additional statuses and terminology:

Unused - the integration on which this test needs to run is not connected, or no policy drafts have been started - DOES NOT impact control readiness

Disabled - the test was ready to run or was running, but the customer deemed the test unnecessary for their business - DOES NOT impact control readiness

Enabled - the integration on which this test needs to run is connected, or policy drafts have been started - DOES impact control readiness
​
​Result Status - ALL of these impact control readiness, as in, any test in a failing or standby status will prevent a control from being marked as ready
​Passing - Drata has captured all necessary data and determined the required conditions are being met
​Failing - Drata has captured all necessary data and determined the required conditions are not being met
​Error - Some blocker exists preventing Drata from capturing all necessary data, and hence we cannot make a determination if the required conditions are being met

Also note, if you have multiple accounts connected that a test is run on, you will be able to differentiate between those accounts based on the logos to the left of the failed items.

When you scroll down to 'Automated Test Results Over Time', you will note the option in white to 'See Raw Test Evidence'. This will take you to 'Event Tracking' and allow you to drill into the specific results and JSON file from each time the test has ran. Learn more about examining the specific results of the test here.
