Automating SOC 2 Application Security with Jit + Drata
Updated February 19, 2025.
Checking off application security requirements for SOC 2 compliance is often a burden for everyone involved. Security and GRC teams need to manually upload evidence to SOC2 compliance systems like Drata, while development teams suddenly need to use code security scanners that throw wrenches in the SDLC.
That’s why Jit and Drata have teamed up to introduce the Jit SOC2 Plan for Drata—a security plan that automates the implementation of SOC 2-required application security controls, automatically uploads SOC2 evidence to Drata and seamlessly integrates application security controls into developer workflows.
This integration enables security and GRC teams to achieve compliance without manual effort while allowing developers to secure their code without disrupting their productivity.
How Jit and Drata simplify SOC2 compliance for security and GRC teams
Security and GRC teams often struggle with manually collecting evidence and generating reports to demonstrate SOC 2 compliance. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistencies that can delay audits and increase compliance risks.
The Jit SOC2 Plan for Drata provides an automated approach to SOC 2 compliance by embedding security controls directly into the development pipeline and streamlining compliance reporting. Here’s how it works:
Automated Security Controls: Jit enforces SOC 2-compliant application security measures, such as code security scanning and vulnerability management, across development environments.
Automated Evidence Collection: Jit continuously monitors security controls and automatically uploads compliance evidence to Drata, removing the need for manual reporting.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring: Drata and Jit alert security teams when new security vulnerabilities are introduced, ensuring organizations remain compliant at all times.
In the screenshot below, you can see the relevant SOC2 Plan controls, which include all of the AppSec requirements for SOC2 that can be automatically implemented across your environment in a few clicks.
How Jit and Drata simplify SOC2 compliance for development teams
On the development side, security controls often introduce friction. Developers are required to use new tools that force them out of their coding environments, making it difficult to address security issues efficiently. This slows down development velocity and leaves security teams struggling to enforce best practices across multiple environments.
- Integrated feedback: Integrated into GitHub, GitLab, and VS Code, Jit delivers real-time security feedback without requiring developers to learn new tools or navigate lengthy vulnerability backlogs.
- Auto-remediation: Jit provides out-of-the-box code fixes that can be applied with a click, without creating a new PR or MR.
- Contextual guidance: Jit provides feedback on the security of every code change within the context of their environment, so developers understand the real impact of code security issues.
In the screenshot below, you can see an example of Jit suggesting a code fix within a GitHub pull request, so developers don't need to leave their environment to detect and resolve security issues in their code before production.
Why Integrate Jit and Drata?
With the Jit SOC2 Plan for Drata, organizations can streamline SOC 2 compliance without disrupting development workflows or overburdening security teams. By automating security control enforcement and compliance reporting, this integration ensures that:
Security teams can focus on risk management instead of manual evidence collection.
Developers receive actionable security insights directly in their workflow, reducing friction.
