Disabling tests within Drata and providing a business rationale

HERE’S WHY

You have the ability to disable tests within Drata if the test itself is not applicable or if your organization is using something else to monitor or implement the control. This can be reverted at any time should there be a need to re-enable the test.

BEFORE DIVING IN

Only Account Administrators, Workspace Managers, and TechGov roles have the ability to disable tests within Drata

HERE’S HOW

Go to your Drata’s Monitoring page

Using the Search Bar, look up the test that you need to disable (In this example, we are disabling the test for ‘Engineering Job Description’)

Select the test you want to disable to open up the Test Details drawer

Change the Test Status from Enabled to Disabled

Fill in the Business Rationale for disabling the control. This can help remind you the reason why you disabled this test, especially if you have disabled multiple tests.

NOTE: You can directly go to the associated test from the Controls view by scrolling down in the control drawer and clicking the View Test Page
