How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWeekly schedule (security audit cadence)
  • ActionRead credential inventory manifest from S3AWS S3
  • LogicCompute key age and flag past rotation SLA
  • LogicFilter to overdue credentials, group by owner
  • ActionCreate one Linear rotation issue per ownerLinearLinear
  • OutputPost overdue-by-team digest to SlackSlack

What it does

Walks your AWS account's IAM access keys and the secrets you track in an inventory, computes each credential's age, and compares it against your rotation SLA. Anything past due is grouped by owner and turned into actionable rotation work rather than a one-off alert that gets ignored.

When to use it

When compliance or security requires rotating long-lived credentials on a schedule (for example, every 90 days) and you need an auditable record that overdue keys were caught and assigned. Good for SOC 2 and ISO evidence trails.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule starts the audit.
  2. 2The flow reads the credential inventory manifest from an S3 bucket and lists active access keys.
  3. 3For each credential it calculates age in days and marks it overdue when it exceeds the policy threshold.
  4. 4A filter drops compliant credentials and keeps only the overdue set, grouped by owning team.
  5. 5One Linear issue per owner is created with the affected key IDs, ages, and the rotation runbook link.
  6. 6A digest of overdue counts by team is posted to Slack for visibility at the next security standup.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AWS S3Buckets, objects, signed URLs.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
