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:
Data Theorem creates a Jira ticket
Developer fixes the issue
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.
