Drata automates your compliance journey from start to audit-ready and beyond and provides support from the security and compliance experts who built it.

First, get your Drata API Key

  1. Log into the Drata dashboard https://app.drata.com/dashboard

  2. Click on your username on the bottom left, then "Settings"

  3. Click "API Keys"

  4. In the top right, click on "Create API Key"

  5. Name the key and choose the appropriate scopes for the key, and then click "Save"

  6. Copy the API Key, check the box and click "Done"

Then, Create a Drata credential in Tines

Drata connect flow (recommended):

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Drata" and follow the prompts to connect.

Manual credential creation

This method is not recommended as the Drata connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credential"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the Drata credential

    1. Name: Required

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: API Key

  5. Optional

    1. Domains: Ensure this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains

    2. Access: What other teams can also use the API
