We just finished a project to surface our Drata compliance data in a custom dashboard, and I wanted to share the approach since it was simpler than I expected.
We used Drata’s API to pull control statuses, evidence gaps, and real-time test results into a BI tool (we used Metabase). The main goal was to give engineering teams a view without needing Drata logins. The API is pretty straightforward for basic GET requests—mostly needed a service account token. The trickiest part was mapping their data model to something useful for us, especially around linking controls to specific services in our K8s clusters.
Has anyone else done something similar? I’m curious how you handled ongoing data syncing and if you built any alerts off the integrated data. We’re on a basic plan, so I’m also wondering if there are API limits we might hit as we scale this out.
