Data Theorem directly integrates with the Jira bug and issue tracking system, where tickets can be created and assigned automatically to any development team.

This integration will automatically export policy violations affecting your API, Web and Cloud Apps to Jira.

The following items are included in the Data Theorem Jira ticket:

• Details about the affected asset

• Details about the policy violation

  • Description

  • Additional information

  • Recommendation

  • URL for the violation in the Data Theorem portal

• Custom Fields (Customer Created)

A sample developer workflow is as follows:

1. Data Theorem creates a Jira ticket

2. Developer fixes the issue

3. Data Theorem performs a scan, marks issues as Closed/Fixed and syncs the data to the existing Jira ticket.

Please Note: Data Theorem will not close issues in the customers Jira systems, but instead provides notifications within existing tickets using Jira comments. Your team is responsible for updating the Jira ticket appropriately based on the comments provided by Data Theorem.

Requirements

1. The Jira instance must be publicly accessible (Cloud and Self-Hosted/On-Prem instances are supported).

2. Whitelisting Data Theorem IP’s, necessary.

3. Setup the integration in the Data Theorem Portal.

Whitelisting Data Theorem’s IP Addresses

Please whitelist the following IP addresses to allow Data Theorem to properly connect: https://datatheorem.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/article/1253671113.

Set up the Integration

In general, Data Theorem requires the following details in order to begin the integration process:

• Dedicated Data Theorem Account:

  • Within that account, you will need the username and an API Token for the account. Instructions for creating an API Token can be found here.

  • The account will need the ability to create tickets and add comments

  • It is strongly advised to restrict the account’s access to the specific Jira project that should be used for the integration

  • Data Theorem does not currently support OAuth but rather relies on Basic authentication through the use of an API Token.

• The URL of your Jira instance (ex: https://yourdomain.atlassian.net).

  • Please verify this field with your IT or Jira Admin.
