January 2026 Recap: Scaling Trust with Automation and Control

January 2026 Recap: Scaling Trust with Automation and Control
A roundup of Drata’s January releases, from document APIs to smarter questionnaire workflows and identity guardrails, built to automate security assurance and scale trust with confidence.

Security Assurance

Prove trust—faster and at scale.

Security isn’t a promise—it’s proof. Drata accelerates how enterprises demonstrate trust through continuously governed documentation, integrated Trust Centers, and automated questionnaire workflows that remove friction from security reviews without sacrificing accuracy or control.

Trust Center Documents APIs

New APIs enable teams to programmatically upload, replace, delete, and manage documents in Trust Center.

With full document lifecycle management and metadata-level control, enterprises can eliminate duplicate document workflows and reduce the risk of outdated security content being shared with customers, auditors, or partners. By enabling automation with any document repository, not just native integrations, these APIs support scalable trust operations across complex environments.

Trust Center Chrome Extension + Drata Portal Support

Drata questionnaires are now supported in the latest SafeBase Chrome extension.

Teams can import approved answers and autofill Drata Portal questionnaires directly in the browser, cutting manual copy/paste and accelerating security reviews. This keeps assurance workflows aligned across platforms while maintaining a single source of truth for approved responses.

Spreadsheet Questionnaires 

Sheet Selection and Column Auto-Mapping are now generally available for spreadsheet-based questionnaires.

Customers can explicitly choose which sheets to import, automatically map question and answer columns where possible, and exclude instruction-only or reference sheets to keep imports clean. The mapping step is now always visible, giving teams consistent review and confirmation every time—adding clarity and control without disrupting existing workflows.

What’s Coming Next

February will bring deeper automation across assurance workflows, continued expansion of Trust Center and Drata interoperability, and more ways to maintain continuous trust without adding manual overhead.

From continuous compliance to security assurance and automated governance, every update is built to scale trust. Explore what Drata has to offer.
