How to archive policies in Drata

Updated over 3 weeks 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

  1. Navigate to the 'Policy Center' and ensure you are on Active Policies tab.

  2. Select the archive icon () in the row of the policy you want to archive.

  3. Confirm you decision on the Archive Policy modal.

    • The modal displays a list of mapped tests that will be disabled if the policy is archived.

    • Archiving a policy also removes it as evidence from any mapped controls.

  4. 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.
