Jira Cloud Integration

Chris Schubert March 1, 2022

Jira Cloud Integration

You can now send issues directly into your Jira Cloud project from UpGuard with our native Jira Cloud integration. Most Jira issue field types are supported and can be automated based on the content of a notification, providing robust customization options. For example, you could set up this integration to assign a Jira issue to a specific person whenever we detect a new vulnerability among your web assets. Check out this article to learn how to set up the Jira Cloud Integration.

Essential Eight Questionnaire

The Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC) developed the Essential Eight in 2017 to protect Microsoft Windows-based internet-connected networks. While the Essential Eight may be applied to cloud services, enterprise mobility, or other operating systems, it was not primarily designed for such purposes. Alternative mitigation strategies may be more appropriate to mitigate unique cyber threats to these environments.

This iteration of the UpGuard Essential Eight Questionnaire will assess your vendors thoroughly across all eight mitigation strategies and provide the risks identified and scoring out of 950 (as our other questionnaires operate). We understand that the Essential Eight is typically based on maturity ratings which we may explore in future iterations of this questionnaire.

The Essential Eight Questionnaire can be used in conjunction with UpGuard’s Anatomy of a Cloud questionnaire to analyze organizations’ cloud computing environments further.
