  • By default, the ticket type will be set as Incident and the tag Drata will look for will be Security. To change this, follow the steps below when you are first making the connection or editing the connection.

  • Please select the ticket type(s) that your organization uses for security related tasks. Drata currently supports 3 ticket types: Incidents, Problems, and Tasks.

  • Enter a tag that your organization uses to categorize security related tickets. For all tickets in the types you selected previously, Drata will evaluate tickets with the tag you specify.

    • Note: You must make sure this tag is enabled in your ServiceNow account. Please make sure it exactly matches what you have in your account

  • For tickets that meet the above specifications, Drata will check if they have a priority. Please ensure your ticket types selected above have the Priority field enabled in your ServiceNow account

  • You can always modify the specifications by clicking on the edit icon when viewing your ServiceNow Connection.
