Automate Vendor Security Checks from Jira Tickets with AI

Streamline your vendor security assessments with this intelligent n8n workflow that automatically investigates new suppliers when Jira tickets are created. Transform manual security reviews into comprehensive AI-powered due diligence reports delivered directly to your team.

What this workflow does

This automation triggers whenever a new vendor ticket appears in Jira, launching a sophisticated multi-agent security investigation:

• AI extracts vendor details (company name, URL, product) from Jira ticket fields using Grok
• Seed Discovery agent powered by Claude and Perplexity automatically finds official domains, trust centers, privacy policies, and status pages
• Seven specialized research agents run simultaneously, each focused on critical areas: Compliance, Data Handling, Privacy & Legal, Security Controls, Availability, Pricing, and Company Intelligence
• Lead Security Analyst synthesizes all findings into a comprehensive risk-scored report
• Results post automatically as Jira Wiki Markup comments plus rich Slack notifications with direct links

Use cases

• Security teams conducting vendor risk assessments for procurement processes
• Compliance officers evaluating third-party data handling practices
• IT departments performing due diligence on SaaS tool integrations
• Enterprise organizations standardizing vendor security review workflows
