Connect Open Source Risk Intelligence to Jira

Add Sonatype Lifecycle to Jira and bring software composition analysis (SCA) directly into your issue tracking workflow. Whether you use Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center, our integrations automatically generate issues for policy violations, helping teams act on risks without disrupting their existing workflows.

Our Jira add-ons let you view vulnerability and policy violation details for specific components, automatically create Jira issues when violations are detected, and centralize issue tracking and resolution within your existing Jira projects.

Sonatype for Jira Data Center

Built for self-managed Jira Data Center instances, this add-on enriches Jira issues with Sonatype Lifecycle intelligence. It enables collaboration across development and security teams while supporting high availability and custom workflows typical of on-premise deployments.

With this integration you can:

  • Automatically generate issues for violations across projects.
  • Sync issue status with Sonatype Lifecycle policy evaluation.
  • Customize issue type, field mapping, and severity thresholds.

Sonatype for Jira Cloud

Designed for teams using Atlassian’s cloud-hosted Jira, this integration automatically creates and updates Jira issues based on policy violations detected in Sonatype Lifecycle. Developers can see component-level risk and remediation guidance without leaving the Jira Cloud interface.

With this integration you can:

  • View violation details directly in Jira Cloud issues.
  • Link policy violations to existing Jira projects and workflows.
  • Configure issue creation based on violation severity and type.
