How to archive policies in Drata

Updated over 8 months ago

HERE'S WHY

Drata's Policy Center includes several policy templated policies as well as the ability to create your own policies. Drata allows you to archive any policies you don’t wish to use, whether templated policies or a policy you created.

BEFORE DIVING IN

Admins and information security leads will have access to archive policies with Drata.

HERE'S HOW

When you navigate to the 'Policy Center' you’ll see a table of policies. Within each row of the table are actionable icons including the archive (drawer) icon. Selecting this icon will archive the policy listed in that row.

Before the policy is archived an ‘Archive Policy’ modal is displayed. The modal lists all Autopilot tests associated with the archived policy that will be disabled. Archiving a policy will remove it as evidence from any mapped controls, and disable any mapped automated tests.

Select ‘Archive’ to accept and archive.

Restore policy

If you change your mind and want to use a policy you've archived, you can easily restore it. Learn more here.
