Automate Jira evidence collection with Scrut Monitor

What's new?

You can now automatically fetch Jira issues as evidence using Scrut Monitor. Set up custom JQL queries to run at your preferred cadence (daily, weekly, monthly), and Scrut will automatically pull the matching Jira issues as timestamped CSV/PDF files and attach them as automated evidence to relevant tasks.

Why it matters

If your team relies on Jira for incident management, change tracking, vulnerability remediation, or access requests, this feature saves you significant time and effort. Instead of manually exporting Jira data for audits, you can automate evidence collection for key compliance requirements, such as:

• Incident Management: Show incidents are logged, tracked, and resolved in Jira.

• Problem / RCA Tracking: Capture root cause analysis and corrective action tasks.

• Change Management: Prove all changes are raised, reviewed, and approved.

• Emergency Change Requests: Track urgent fixes with approvals.

• User Onboarding / Offboarding: Show employees are provisioned and deprovisioned via Jira tickets.

• Access Requests & Approvals: Evidence of access control workflows and approvals.

• Vulnerability Management: Tickets for identified vulnerabilities and their remediation.

• Risk Tracking: Risks logged and tracked as Jira issues.

• Vendor Risk Management: Show due diligence and assessments via vendor-related Jira tickets.

• BCP / DR Testing: Proof that business continuity or disaster recovery tests were executed.

• Secure SDLC Activities: Tickets for security reviews, threat modeling, or secure code reviews.

• Defect Tracking (Security Bugs): Evidence that security-related bugs are identified and closed.

• Asset Return (Exit Process): Tickets confirming return of laptops, badges, and other assets on exit.

How it works

• Connect your Jira integration: Ensure your Jira account is connected to Scrut.

• Add a Jira Monitor: Navigate to a specific evidence and click the 'Add/Upload Attachment' button to set up a new Jira Monitor.

• Create and validate your JQL query: Use a custom JQL query to filter the issues you need.

• Configure the schedule: Choose how often the monitor should run (daily, weekly, monthly) based on your evidence requirements.

• Link to evidence tasks: Attach the monitor output to relevant evidence tasks so files are automatically generated and stored as compliance proof.

• Review collected evidence: Access timestamped CSV or PDF files containing issue ID, summary, assignee, status, Jira link, and last updated timestamp.
