Security Scanner in Jira: Detect Sensitive Data Before It Becomes a Risk

[#1]

Sensitive data may be accidentally left in Jira. Passwords, API tokens, and personal information often appear during everyday work. The real problem is that this data doesn’t stay visible. It gets buried across multiple Jira work items and their history. Finding it manually is time-consuming process that rarely gives a complete picture.

That is why Issue History for Jira (Work Item History) app added a new powerful functionality - Security Scanner View. It helps quickly identify sensitive data across both current content and historical work item changes.

Using Security Scanner View, you can:

👉 Scan projects, sprints, or specific work items
👉 Detect sensitive data in both current and past records
👉 View results grouped by type and severity
👉 Quickly understand what requires your attention

Instead of checking thousands of work items in your Jira one by one, you get a clear, structured view of potential risks.

Whether you're preparing for an audit or improving your security practices, Security Scanner View provided by Issue History for Jira (Work Item History) app helps you move faster and stay in control.

Right now, it’s available in the app’s Advanced plan, which can be tested during the trial period by new users, as well as existing Standard plan users who activate an Advanced trial.

You can install Issue History for Jira (Work Item History) app from the Atlassian Marketplace and start identifying risks in minutes. 🚀

Also, we're are open to your ideas on how to make our Security Scanner View even more powerful. So feel free to test it and share your suggestions.
