Weekly Security Report → Email Summary → Jira Tasks
Generate weekly security reports from GitHub repositories, compile them into executive summaries, and create Jira tasks for remediation tracking.
Workflow Steps
GitHub API
Fetch security alert data
Set up a scheduled script (using GitHub Actions or external cron job) to query the GitHub REST API for security alerts across all repositories. Pull data on open vulnerabilities, their severity, affected dependencies, and resolution status from the past week.
Python/Node.js Script
Generate formatted report
Process the GitHub security data into a structured report format. Group vulnerabilities by severity (critical, high, medium, low), calculate metrics like total issues, average resolution time, and most affected repositories. Export as JSON and HTML formats.
SendGrid
Email executive summary
Configure SendGrid to send weekly HTML email reports to stakeholders including security team, engineering managers, and executives. Include key metrics, trending vulnerabilities, and links to detailed GitHub security dashboard.
Jira
Create remediation tasks
Use Jira's REST API to automatically create tasks for each high and critical severity vulnerability. Set appropriate priority levels, assign to repository owners, and link back to GitHub security alerts for full context and tracking.
