Keep engineering and security working from the same context
| Capability | What your team gains |
|---|---|
| Import projects, issues and workflows | Bring existing engineering work into your security review. |
| Search and inspect issues | Find the relevant issue and read its details during an investigation. |
| Create and update Jira issues | Give engineers an actionable issue in the projects they already use. |
| Add comments and use issue transitions | Keep work moving through the configured Jira workflow. |
| Include Confluence when enabled | Bring accessible pages into the evidence collection alongside Jira context. |
From a finding to work your engineers can act on
Use Boundera's agentic workflow to walk through a vulnerability, inspect its evidence and prepare the evaluation and response. Create or update the Jira issue with the work your engineering team needs to carry out.
Keep the vulnerability evaluation, evidence and response record in Boundera, with Jira as the place your engineers manage the work.
Example workflow
- Investigate in Boundera. Understand the finding and the evidence behind it.
- Review the work. Decide what needs to change and which team should own it.
- Use Jira. Create or update an issue in the connected project and work through its configured process.
- Review the result. Inspect the later evidence and update the provider's record as appropriate.
See the investigation and reporting steps in this broader Boundera vulnerability walkthrough.
Use Jira or Boundera's built-in ticketing
Keep Jira for your existing engineering workflow, or manage vulnerability tasks directly in Boundera. Native tickets include owners, team targets, reminders and progress tracking, so you can manage that work without a separate ticketing purchase.
Reduce repeated work with rules and batch actions across matching vulnerabilities. Review the scope, apply the supported evaluation or response action, and use configured rules to create native remediation work with an owner and team target.
Plan your connection
- Account and access: the current Jira connector uses your Atlassian site, account email and API token.
- Scope: confirm access to the intended projects and issue types. Confluence collection is optional.
- Actions: confirm the permissions needed for issue creation, updates, comments and transitions you plan to use.
- Environment: confirm compatibility with your Jira deployment before rollout, including any government-environment requirements.
Common questions
Do we have to use Jira?
No. Boundera includes its own vulnerability ticketing. Jira is an option for teams that want to retain their existing engineering workflow. ServiceNow is another supported integration.
Does closing a Jira issue complete the FedRAMP work?
Your team still needs to review the security outcome and maintain the relevant record. FedRAMP's vulnerability rules cover ongoing evaluation and response work. Read the official vulnerability rules.
Can we collect evidence without giving issue-write access?
Evidence collection uses the access of the connected account. Scope that access to the collection you need; issue-changing actions require the corresponding permissions.
