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.

Jira FAQs

How does the Jira Cloud integration improve developer workflows?

Sonatype for Jira Cloud embeds violation details directly into Jira issues, eliminating the need to switch tools. Developers can see why a component failed, the associated risks, and the actions to take — all within Jira.

Can I configure which violations trigger issue creation in Jira Cloud?

Yes. Admins can tailor the integration to control which types of violations (security, license, or quality) and which severity levels automatically generate new issues in Jira. This helps avoid noise while keeping Jira tracking aligned with your organization’s risk tolerance.

What makes the Data Center integration ideal for enterprise Jira projects?

The Sonatype for Jira Data Center integration offers flexible configuration options, such as custom issue type mapping, field population, and fine-grained control over which violations trigger Jira issues. This ensures the integration can adapt to complex enterprise workflows while maintaining centralized control over open source risk governance.
