Edit a Control

Edit templated and custom controls to meet your needs

Updated over 9 months ago

You may want to edit a DCF control to make the information more relevant to your needs, or you may want to update the information in a control you created. Whatever the reason, Drata gives you the ability to edit control information for both templated DCF controls and your custom controls.

BEFORE DIVING IN

Only account administrators or information security leads have access to this functionality within Drata.

HERE'S HOW

Select a control to open the control drawer. Select the ‘Edit’ icon at top right of the drawer. From here, you are able to edit all required and optional fields:

  • Name — required

  • Code — required (only editable on controls you created, you cannot edit the code for DCF controls)

  • Control Owner(s) - optional

  • Description — required

  • Question — optional

  • Activities — optional

Select 'Save' to submit edits. Once edits are made, a timestamp of when the control was last updated will display at the top of the control. Click the 'See all updates' link to go to the 'Events' page to see all updates for that specific control.
