Jira and ticketing
Prioritised findings become Jira tickets, and ticket status flows back. The sync is deliberately conservative in one direction: Sinterly will not silently change what your findings say happened.
Connecting
Integrations, then Ticketing, then Jira, then Connect. You provide your site URL, account email, API token, project key, and optionally an issue type ID if your project uses a custom type.
The connection is tested against your Jira before it can be saved. Once saved, the credential is encrypted and never displayed again.
Outbound: findings become tickets
Scored, open findings without a ticket are created in your project. Each ticket is structured for the fact that several different people will read it:
- A business impact section in plain language, for whoever prioritises the work.
- The technical detail, affected location and reproduction guidance, for the engineer who fixes it.
- An effort estimate split into code time and process time, for sprint planning.
Inbound: status changes need a human
When a ticket's status changes in Jira, Sinterly does not update the finding automatically. The change enters a confirmation queue where an AppSec Lead approves or rejects it.
This is intentional. A closed ticket does not always mean a fixed vulnerability. Tickets get closed as duplicates, closed by mistake, closed because a sprint ended. Somebody accountable confirms the connection between "ticket done" and "vulnerability gone", and the confirmation is audited.
A daily reconciliation pass catches anything a webhook missed, so a dropped event does not leave your two systems disagreeing indefinitely.
Reviewing the queue
Open Jira queue as an AppSec Lead. Each pending change shows the finding, the ticket, and the proposed status. Approving applies it and records who approved. Rejecting requires a reason.
Other ticketing systems
Asana and Azure DevOps are on the roadmap and appear in the Integrations page with a Register interest button. Registering interest genuinely determines what gets built next. See Integrations.
