Creating a Jira Audit - Beta

Overview

After Jira and ZenGRC are connected, you can select the Jira option when setting up an audit. This documentation shows where that option resides, along with additional steps needed when setting up a Jira audit.

Step 1: Adding Basic Audit Information

To create a Jira audit, complete the following steps:

1. Click New in the left-hand navigation and Audit.
   
   
   
   

2. Complete the fields and select Jira in the Managed in drop-down.
   
   
   
   

   TIP

   The dropdown boxes that display when Managed in Jira is selected are determined by settings in the connected Jira instance. These selections do not impact ZenGRC. For example, if you select "Epic" in the Audit issue type dropdown, your audit is created as an Epic in Jira. And the selection of "Task" in the Request issue type dropdown means all audit requests imported during audit set up will be created as Tasks in Jira.

3. In the Jira project dropdown, select a project. This displays additional Jira dropdowns. Make selections for each.
   
   
   
   

   TIP

   These selections override settings chosen when establishing connection between your ZenGRC and Jira instances.

4. Click Next. After this point, you can no longer change where the audit is managed
