The Fivetran integration enables security and compliance teams to automate User Access Reviews (UAR) by syncing user access data directly from Fivetran. This helps organizations review who has access to Fivetran and maintain accurate access records for compliance monitoring.
Key Capabilities
User Access Review Data Sync: Import Fivetran user access data into Drata
Access Governance: Monitor which users have access to your Fivetran environment
Compliance Monitoring: Maintain visibility into system access to support audit and compliance workflows
This integration supports User Access Review workflows, helping demonstrate compliance with access control policies.
