Jira integration
Ticketing & Project Management
Jira is where engineering and security teams already plan, prioritize, and track their work, so it's the natural place for an exposure to become an owned, scheduled fix rather than a line item in a dashboard. The FortWatch Jira integration (currently in development) will turn every new finding from your continuous external scans into a properly prioritized Jira issue — with the affected asset, severity, and remediation guidance — so remediation lives in the same backlog as the rest of your team's work.

View finding & step-by-step fix →Jira + FortWatch
FortWatch connects to your Jira site through an Atlassian app (OAuth 2.0) and the Jira REST API. When a scan detects a new issue, FortWatch creates a Jira issue in the project you choose, mapping its severity (critical/high/medium/low) to your Jira priority scheme and writing the affected asset, evidence, and step-by-step remediation into the description. You control the target project, issue type, default assignee or component, and any custom fields you want stamped (for example a "Source: FortWatch" label or an asset tag). The link is two-way: FortWatch listens for Jira webhooks, so when someone closes the ticket the finding can be acknowledged in FortWatch, and when a later scan confirms the exposure is gone the issue can be auto-resolved or commented on instead of opening a duplicate. Repeated detections of the same exposure update the existing ticket rather than spawning new ones.
FortWatch scans
Eleven scanners watch your external attack surface around the clock — ports, certs, DNS, cloud buckets, exposed files and more.
AI triages the finding
Each issue is scored by real-world impact and packaged with the affected asset and a one-line explanation of the risk.
Delivered to Jira
The finding lands in Jira, routed by severity — so the right people see the right alert, fast.
What you'll be able to do
Everything the Jira integration will bring to your security workflow.
Auto-create tickets
a newly exposed Redis port or public storage bucket becomes a Jira issue the moment a scan finds it, already prioritized.
Severity-to-priority mapping
FortWatch critical/high/medium/low maps to your Jira priority scheme so security work sorts correctly alongside everything else in the backlog.
Route by project or component
send web-app findings to one project and infrastructure findings to another, with a default assignee or component per route.
Deduplication
re-detecting the same exposure updates the existing ticket and its history instead of opening a duplicate.
Bidirectional status sync
closing the Jira issue acknowledges the finding in FortWatch, and a clean follow-up scan can auto-resolve or comment on the ticket.
Audit-ready trail
every external-surface fix has a ticket with evidence, owner, and timestamps for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or internal review.
What an alert looks like
Every finding arrives formatted for Jira — severity up front, the affected asset, and a one-line explanation of why it matters, with a link straight to the step-by-step fix.

Set it up in minutes, once it lands
No agents, no infrastructure changes — just connect Jira and choose where alerts go.
When it launches, open Settings → Integrations in FortWatch and connect your Atlassian site via OAuth.
Choose the default Jira project and issue type FortWatch should use for new findings.
Map each FortWatch severity to a Jira priority, and set any default assignee, component, labels, or custom fields.
Optionally add routing rules so different asset groups or scanners file into different projects.
Create a test ticket to confirm the formatting and field mapping, then enable automatic ticket creation.
Why route FortWatch into Jira?
A finding only gets fixed when it's owned, prioritized, and tracked — which is exactly what Jira is built for. Filing FortWatch exposures directly into your backlog with the right priority means security work competes for attention on the same board as everything else, and the closed loop between scan results and ticket status gives you a clean audit trail of what was exposed, who fixed it, and when.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Jira integration available now?
Not yet — it's in active development. Add your email below and we'll notify you the moment it ships.
Will it flood my backlog with duplicate tickets?
No. Re-detecting the same exposure updates the existing ticket instead of creating a new one, and you choose which severities file tickets versus which stay in FortWatch as findings only.
Does it work with both Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center?
The integration is being built first for Jira Cloud via the Atlassian app and REST API. Data Center support depends on demand — let us know if you need it and we'll factor it into the roadmap.
Want the Jira integration when it ships?
We'll email you the moment it goes live — no spam, just the launch.
