Customers need to manage multiple products or business lines with different infrastructure and compliance framework needs but with shared 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:
Select your username to select your Settings.
On the Settings page, select Company Info. Company Info is under the Company Settings section. You can create additional Workspaces under Company Info.
Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select 'Add Workspace'.
Complete the requested information in the Add Workspace drawer and select 'Add'.
An informational modal will display to let you know that it takes Drata a few minutes to build out the associated frameworks and tests for your new Workspace. Select 'Continue' to acknowledge and continue.
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:
Select your username to select your Settings.
On the Settings page, select Company Info. Company Info is under the Company Settings section. You can create additional Workspaces under Company Info.
Scroll down to the Workspaces section and select Edit.
On the drawer, you can remove or add Frameworks. To remove a framework select the x for the desired framework. To add a framework, search and select the framework from the dropdown menu.
Ensure to 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!
