GitLab uses SafeBase Trust Center by Drata as a self-serve portal for customer security documentation, with Salesforce matching and Slack-based approvals for trust requests. It also uses AI Questionnaire Automation to draft answers to security questionnaires from its existing knowledge base.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Drata and GitLab, not ours.

  • 90%“Automated approvals now handle roughly 90% of incoming requests, reserving manual review only for edge cases such as acquisitions or domain changes.”
  • 90%“More than 90% of GitLab’s enterprise customers now use the Trust Center, enabling automated approvals for most requests without increasing headcount.”
