# Drata Integration

The Drata integration automatically pushes Evidence to Drata for SOC2 and ISO27001:2022. Activate Drata from the Aikido Integrations page.

### 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'.

#### Save <a href="#save" id="save"></a>

Next, click 'Save' and copy your generated API Key.

Back in Aikido, paste the API Key and click 'Next'. After that, choose your Drata workspace and click 'Save'.

![Enter your Drata API Key to integrate data and proceed to the next step.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-28b8f7c905281f4c5b11bd356e166ce42e85430d%2Fucarecdn-650bf49f-49d4-4848-8513-f93aaa9f8a47.png?alt=media)

### 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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/compliance-and-reporting/iso-27001-and-soc-2-compliance-overview/drata-compliance-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
