Steps
Generate a scoped API key in Drata with read/write permissions limited to the personnel and evidence endpoints needed.
Use the personnel evidence upload endpoint to POST documents (e.g. background check confirmations, training completions) directly to a specific employee's compliance record.
Import external control test results or monitoring evidence from third-party systems (MDM, security training, ticketing) using Drata's evidence import endpoints so controls stay continuously monitored rather than manually reviewed.
Poll or fetch control status endpoints to confirm imported evidence updated a control's pass/fail state ahead of an audit evidence pull.
Respect Drata's per-IP rate limit (roughly 500 requests per minute) by batching evidence uploads instead of issuing one request per document in tight loops.
Known gotchas
API keys are scoped per entity type (e.g. personnel versus controls); a key without the right scope returns an authorization error even if the key itself is valid.
Imported evidence reflects the state at import time — controls relying on continuous monitoring integrations still need a scheduled sync job rather than a one-time import to stay current for an audit.
