Workspaces - Multiple Product Support

Manage compliance across multiple Workspaces with different infrastructure and compliance framework needs but shared operations.

Updated over a month ago

Customers need to manage multiple products or business lines that have different infrastructure and compliance framework needs while sharing operations such as personnel, vendors, and assets

BEFORE DIVING IN

  • Workspaces - Multiple Product Support must be enabled by your Customer Success Manager.

Add a Workspace

When your tenant is provisioned in Drata, your primary workspace is created. To create additional workspaces:

  1. Select your username, then choose Settings.

  2. On the Settings page, select the Company Info card under the Company Settings section.

  3. Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select 'Add Workspace'.

    • The workspace with the star icon is your primary workspace.

  4. Complete the requested information in the Add Workspace drawer and select 'Add'.

  5. An informational modal will appear, informing you that Drata takes a few minutes to build the associated frameworks and tests for your new workspace. Select 'Continue' to acknowledge and continue.

Delete a Workspace

Note: This action cannot be undone.

Drata Admins can delete a workspace. Primary workspaces cannot be deleted.

  1. Select your username, then choose Settings.

  2. On the Settings page, select the Company Info card under the Company Settings section.

  3. Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select Edit for the workspace to delete.

  4. Select the Delete button.

  5. A confirmation modal will appear, prompting you to confirm the deletion.

Frameworks

Once a Workspace has been created, you can add or remove Frameworks from workspaces. You must enable a Framework from the Workspaces section, not the Frameworks page.

  • NOTE: Even if the Workspaces feature has been enabled on your Drata account, but you have not yet created any new Workspaces, you still must take this step to enable your desired frameworks on your default Workspace.

To enable a Framework from the Workspaces section:

  1. Select your username, then choose Settings.

  2. On the Settings page, select the Company Info card under the Company Settings section.

  3. Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select Edit.

  4. In the drawer, you can add or remove frameworks.

    • To remove a framework, select the X next to it.

    • To add a framework, search and select the framework from the dropdown menu.

  5. Save your changes.

Now, the cards on the Frameworks page for any enabled Frameworks on that Workspace will be clickable.

Connections

When setting up Infrastructure, Observability, Ticketing, Version Control, Codebase, CSPM, and Vulnerability Scanning connections, you can select the specific Workspaces to associate to the connection. Other connection types apply across all Workspaces. To learn more about Drata's connections, go to our connections articles.

Workspace Picker

The Workspace picker allows you to switch between Workspaces. Select a Workspace to view and manage information for that particular Workspace.

Navigation

The navigation bar is separated by color into two main sections: Workspace-specific and company-wide information. The top, lighter blue section includes Workspace-specific pages: Dashboard, Controls, Frameworks, Monitoring, Event Tracking and Evidence Library. These reflect information specific to the selected Workspace. The bottom, darker blue section includes pages that apply to all Workspaces (across the tenant): Risk Assessment, Risk Management, Vendors, Assets, Personnel and Policy Center.

*Only controls for the primary workspace can be mapped to risks. Ability to map controls from any workspace to risks is coming soon!
