When an end user violates a policy in JIRA, an Event is generated based on the notification settings configured by you in the policy configurations. To learn more about Events, see Sensitive Data Protection Events.

This document explains where you can find notifications on JIRA policy Events and what actions can be taken.

Nightfall Events

To view the Events on the Nightfall Console:

1. Click Detection and Response from the left pane.

2. (Optional) Modify the days filter to view Events prior to last 7 days. By default the Events recorded in the Last 7 Days are displayed.

1. Apply filters to view only JIRA Events.

Once you filter the Events to view only the JIRA Events, you can refer to the #event-list-view section to learn more about the available options.

1. Click on any of the Events to view details of an Event. You may click anywhere in the row of an Event that you wish to inspect. Details will be present via a side panel.

The side panel (or the Event detail view) is divided into three separate sections. The first section has information about the occurrence of individual findings with a preview. The third section is an activity log for the Event. Both these sections reveal information that is common across all sources/integrations. You can refer to these common sections in the #event-detail-view section.

The second section displays details that are source / integration specific and so the details vary from one integration to the other.

Event Actions

Nightfall allows you to take various action on Events. When you take an action on an Event, the status of the Event changes accordingly. To learn more about Event status, refer to the Event Status document.

In JIRA, you can take actions either from the Event list view page or the Event detail view page. On the Event list view page, you can click the ellipsis menu to view the available list of actions.

On the Event detail view, you can view the applicable actions from the actions section at the bottom.

To view the complete list of actions, applicable to all the integrations, you can refer to the Applying Actions on Events document.

The list of actions supported for JIRA are as follows. Some of these actions are common to other integrations as well.

• Copy Event Link: The action copies the link to the Event. You can save or send this link to directly open the Event. This action is available only on the Event detail view.

• View in JIRA: This action redirects to the sensitive data in the source JIRA ticket. While this action is available only on the Event detail view, please note that relevant access to the source of sensitive data in JIRA should be present.

• Ignore: The ignore action flags Nightfall to ignore all the findings in the Event and may be taken if you find the findings false positive. This action marks the Event as resolved and moves it to the Resolved section. You can undo this action.

• Acknowledge: You can take this action to notify other users that you have looked into this Event and will take suitable action in future.

• Notify Email: This action notifies the end user who added the sensitive data file to the OneDrive about the event, through email.

• Notify Slack: This action notifies the end user who added the sensitive data file to the OneDrive about the event, through Slack.

• Send to JIRA: This action creates a JIRA ticket for the Event. You can pick a project and Issue type while creating the JIRA ticket and can assign the JIRA ticket to the end-user.

• Redact: This action redacts the sensitive data present in the JIRA ticket.

• Delete: This action deletes the sensitive data present in the JIRA ticket.

• Resolve: This action must be taken when the sensitive data is removed completely. This action resolves the Event.

Email Notification

• If you have configured Email Notification in Admin Alerting, Nightfall admins receive the Email notification. This Email allows admins to take actions from within the Email.

• If you have configured Email Notification in the Automation section of End user notification settings, end users receive an email from Nightfall. This Email allows end users to take actions from within the Email.

If you have selected Slack as an End-user remediation channel, end-users can perform the above tasks from Slack as well.

DLP policies are a set of rules that include specific conditions, actions, and exceptions that monitor and filter data. These policies also enable you to remediate any leakage of sensitive information from within your organization.

• You can set up policies to scan data that is sent through some or all applications within your organization.

• You can configure policies and choose to not apply them all the time.

Before you define a policy, or a set of policies, we recommend that you define the objectives of each policy, which can then be fulfilled when you configure the policy.

Here are a few important questions to ask before configuring your policies:

• What data do you plan to monitor?

• Where within the organization do you want to monitor?

• What should be the scope of each policy?

• What conditions must apply for the policy to match?

• What exceptions/exclusions can be allowed?

• What remediation actions should the policy take?

You can now configure policies on the Jira integration to determine which projects must be monitored, and which ones excluded. You can also automate the remediation actions that you want Nightfall to perform on a policy violation.

Configuring DLP policies on Jira involves the following steps:

In this stage, you select the Integration for which the policy is created. In this case, the Jira integration must be selected.

1. Click Policies from the left menu.

2. Click + New Policy.

3. Select Sensitive Data.

4. Select the JIRA integration.

In this final stage, you assign a name to the policy, verify your configurations, and create the policy.

1. Enter a name for the policy.

2. (Optional) Enter a description for the policy.

3. Choose the Policy risk score. By default the risk score is set to Nightfall Risk Score. You can set it to Custom Risk score, and select one of the risk levels, if required. To learn more about Risk scoring, refer to the #risk-scoring document.

4. Click Next.

1. Verify if all the policy configurations are set up as per your requirements.

2. (Optional) Click Back or click on any specific stage to modify any of the policy configurations.

3. Click Submit.

Now you must create the detection rules that define the types of sensitive data that Nightfall scans and capture any violations.

A detection rule can be one detector or a combination of detectors and confidence levels/findings that will define a violation or finding and record it. The following table defines the rules for detectors.

To learn more about Detection Rules and how to set them up, refer Detection Rules.

Nightfall recommends configuring a simple detection rule to start as shown below.

To select detection rules, select a detection rule from the list of rules that are displayed and then select one of the following options.

• All Detection Rules: Select this option to include all the detection rules in the policy.

• Selected Detection Rules: Select this option to include only that detection rule in the policy that you selected above.

• Unselected Detection Rules: Select this option to include all the other detection rules in the policy, that you did not select above.

Click Next.

Nightfall can scan all Jira item types (Tickets, Attachments, and Comments). Scans will include archived items, but not deleted items. Only fields of type free-text fields are scanned: Summary (title), Description (body), Labels, and all custom fields. Fields such as Assignee, and Reporter, are not scanned.

To configure Policy Scope:

1. Click + Add Instances and select an instance.

2. Select one of the following options under the Include in Monitoring section. The scope of this policy is limited to only those categories of tickets which are selected in this section.

• All Projects: This option ensures that all the projects in your JIRA environment are monitored by Nightfall.

• Choose Projects: This option allows you to select the projects in your JIRA environment that you wish to be monitored by Nightfall.

The Exclude from Monitoring section allows you to exclude Projects. You can use this option to exclude projects if you have selected the All Projects option in Step 2.

Click Next.

This stage allows you to select notification channels if a policy violation occurs. The advanced settings page consists of the following configurations.

: This section describes the process of setting alerts for Nightfall administrators when a policy violation is detected.

: This section describes the automated actions that can be taken when a policy violation is detected.

: This section describes the process of setting alerts for end users (a person whose action caused a violation) when a policy violation is detected.

Admin Alerting

The steps to configure alert channels for policy-level integration are the same as in the case of integration-level alerts. You can refer to for steps.

Automated Actions

This section describes the various actions that Nightfall takes automatically when a violation is detected. You must turn on the toggle switch to enable an action. All the automated actions are permanent and cannot be reversed once applied. You can also set the timeline as to when an action must be taken (immediately after detecting a violation or after some time).

The various automated actions are described as follows.

End User Notification

This section allows you to configure notifications to be sent to the end user whose actions triggered the violation.

• Automation: You can either select Email, Slack, or both as an automated notification method. You must turn the toggle switch to use this option. Based on the options selected, end-users receive notification on their Email account associated with JIRA, or Slack account configured.

End User Remediation

End-User remediation (also known as Human Firewall) allows you to configure remediation measures that end users can take when a violation is detected on their JIRA environment. You must turn on the toggle switch to use this option. The various available options are as follows.

• Report as False Positive with Business Justification: This option allows end users to report false positive alerts and provide a business justification as to why the alert is considered to be false positive.

• Report as False Positive: This option allows end users to report false positive alerts.

• When a Violation is Reported as False Positive: You can use this option to set actions to be taken when a violation is reported as false positive by the end-user. You can either set the remediation to be automatic or manual.

• Remind Every (until Violation expires): You can use this option to set a reminder for the end-user to take action on the violation. You can choose to remind the end user every 24, 48, or 72 hours.
