Continuous Monitoring within Trust Center

Updated over 4 months ago

The Continuous Monitoring section of your Trust page can be used to showcase the controls you maintain within Drata and their current status.

Remove, add, and display monitor status of your controls

  1. Go to Drata's Trust Center page.

  2. Scroll down to the Trust page editor and select Customize Trust Page.

  3. In the Trust page editor, scroll down to Continuous Monitoring and select the edit icon.

  4. A Continuous Monitoring Details drawer will open where you can view the six control categories. These categories cannot be changed or reordered. Each category comes with a list of pre-mapped controls that come from the in-scope controls in your Controls page in Drata.

Note: Controls will be listed underneath each category on your Trust Center page.

Remove pre-mapped controls

  1. On the Continuous Monitoring Details drawer, select the desired control category.

  2. Select the minus icon () to remove the control. If you remove all controls from a category, that category will not be displayed on your Trust Center.

Add a control to a category

  1. Near the top of the Continuous Monitoring Details drawer, select the Add Controls.

  2. Select the category to which you want to add the control, then select Next. Only one category can be selected at a time. In your Trust Center, controls can only be shown in one category at a time.

  3. You can multi-select from the list of in-scope controls. Controls that are already added to your Trust Center will not be displayed as options in this list.

    • Controls in each category are ordered with those having automated tests first, followed by those without. Controls cannot be reordered within a category.

    • A description can be added to any control on your Trust Center page. When a viewer hovers over that control, they can view the description you entered. For example, this description can be used to explain why a certain control status is failing if monitoring is enabled.

Display monitoring status of your control

By default, the monitoring status of your controls is not displayed.

  1. To display the status to your viewers on your Trust Center page, near the top of the Continuous Monitoring Details drawer, check the box for monitoring status at the top of the drawer.

  2. The default SLA is 3 days. To change this, select the dropdown and choose a new date.

    • If a control has a passed test within the timeframe of your SLA, it will display a green status () on your Trust Center.

    • If a control does not have any passed test within that timeframe, it will have an orange status () on your Trust Center.

    • Monitoring status will only be displayed for controls with automated tests. If a control does not have an automated test, even if the monitoring status is turned on for your Trust Center, it will not display a status.
