Recurring Tasks Keep Your Team on Track as You Scale
Drata now offers Recurring Tasks to ensure accountability and automation aligned with your ideal timeline across compliance workflows.
As organizations scale, so do the number of controls, frameworks, and teams involved in managing risk and compliance. This growth often leads to a fragmented web of responsibilities, follow-ups, and overlooked tasks.
That’s where Drata’s Recurring Tasks—an enhancement to Drata’s Task Manager—comes in. It brings clarity, automation, and accountability to your compliance workflows, ensuring nothing critical slips through the cracks, no matter how fast you're growing.
The Challenge: Growing Organizations, Growing Complexity
For mid-market and enterprise teams, collaboration often breaks down under the weight of scale. When control owners rotate, tasks multiply, or frameworks expand, the margin for error increases—and so does the cost of mistakes.
Take something as routine as reviewing vendor risk scores every two months or updating your AI policy bi-annually. If that task isn’t assigned, tracked, and repeated with precision, it gets lost in the shuffle. The result? Compliance gaps, extra risk, failed controls, and fear that you are missing something.
When teams rely on email chains and calendar reminders to manage high-stakes compliance work, it’s only a matter of time before something falls through.
The Solution: Recurring Tasks for Teams That Don’t Have Time for Follow Ups
Drata’s Recurring Tasks feature automates the scheduling and reassignment of critical actions. Whether your workflows span departments, frameworks, or risk categories, Recurring Tasks ensures alignment and follow-through—without the need for manual oversight.
As organizations scale, recurring responsibilities quickly outgrow spreadsheets and calendar reminders. Drata brings structure to that chaos with flexible, cadence-based task automation designed to fit your audit calendar—not fight against it.
Here are a few real-world examples of how teams are using Recurring Tasks today:
Weekly Control Reviews
Problem: Manual tracking for weekly reviews of critical controls are error-prone and hard to scale. Drata’s Solution: Create a weekly recurring task tied to the relevant DCF control, assign the right owner, and define an end date—ensuring nothing slips for the next eight weeks.
Bi-Monthly Vendor Risk Reassessment
Problem: Vendor impact/likelihood scores often go stale without consistent reminders. Drata’s Solution: Map a recurring task to an external risk, assign an owner, and set a two-month cadence, so vendor risk stays fresh and audit-ready.
Semi-Annual AI Policy Reviews
Problem: AI Policy reviews fall through the cracks without clear scheduling or ownership. Drata’s Solution: Schedule a recurring task every six months on the last day of the month. Include policy context, assign to the AI policy owner, and automate accountability.
No matter how your organization evolves, Drata keeps your teams coordinated and accountable.
