# Drata Integration

### API Key <a href="#api-key" id="api-key"></a>

You'll need to create a Drata API Key. You can generate such key in Drata via [Username > Settings > API Keys > Create API Key](https://app.drata.com/account-settings/api-keys/add).

#### Details <a href="#details" id="details"></a>

Make sure the Expiration is set to 'Never Expires'.

### Done <a href="#done" id="done"></a>

Aikido will now daily create a PDF report and sync this as 'external evidence' to Drata. We'll create a control with code 'AIKIDO' and link the relevant SOC2 and ISO27001 requirements. You can search for this control [here](https://app.drata.com/compliance/controls/inscope?q=Aikido).

Under 'Control evidence', the Aikido PDF will be attached every month
