Auto-Enrich a Shadow-IT Finding with Vendor Risk Research

When a new shadow-IT Linear issue is created, an agent researches the vendor's security posture and data practices on the web, writes a risk brief into the issue.

What it does

Takes a freshly filed shadow-IT intake ticket and does the analyst's first hour of work automatically: it researches the SaaS vendor, summarizes what data the tool touches, whether it offers SSO and a SOC 2, and any known breaches, then drops a structured risk brief onto the ticket.

When to use it

Use it downstream of any shadow-IT detector when your security team wants every intake ticket pre-loaded with vendor context so the human review starts from a decision, not a blank page.

How it works

  1. 1A new issue in the Linear Security Intake project triggers the flow.
  2. 2An agent uses web search to gather the vendor's security, compliance, and data-handling posture.
  3. 3An OpenAI step composes a structured risk brief and assigns a preliminary risk tier.
  4. 4A logic step branches on the tier, escalating high-risk findings.
  5. 5The brief and tier are written back as a Linear comment, and high-risk tools trigger a Slack alert to the security channel.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  2. 2
    Connect ExaNeural search across the web.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
