Making the initial connection to Linear

Updated over a week ago

Connecting Linear to Drata allows for automated checks and evidence collection to prove to auditors that your company follows its vulnerability management policy and procedures.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have admin access to your company's Linear account.

Connect Linear to Drata

  1. Select 'Connections' from the side navigation menu.

  2. Search for 'Linear' to select the connect button for the Linear integration.

  3. Complete the required fields in the slide-out panel.

    • If you do not use 'Security' as the label within Linear to categorize tickets as security issues, be sure to update the 'Security Label' within the panel.

    • To create Linear tickets from Drata, enable Write Access.

  4. After selecting 'Connect your Linear account,' you'll be redirected to Linear. Choose the workspace you wish to sync with Drata. Once you've chosen the workspace, you'll return to Drata. For further steps, refer to the sections below.

Create Linear tickets through Drata

Note: To create tickets, ensure that within the Linear connection that Write Access is enabled.

The places you can create tickets are: Control Details, Test Details, or Risk Details (in Risk Management) drawer. If there are no tickets or tasks currently associated to a Control, Test, or Risk, you will be prompted to create one to get started. Select Create ticket to start the process.

Now, you will enter the ticket configurations and details. A multi-step modal will appear. Depending on your Linear configurations the following sections may differ.

Destination

If you use multiple ticketing systems, you will have to select Linear for the destination.

Team

Select the Linear team or workspace you would like to sync.

Ticket details

Lastly, enter the ticket details. The title and description will be auto-populated, but you can always edit the title and description if you'd like. You can also optionally add an assignee and a Parent Issue. The Parent Issue field allows you to search for and select an existing issue. If a parent issue is added, the ticket will be created as a sub-issue under the selected parent.
