You can create a label or tag within GitHub Issues that you can use to indicate that an issue contains security-related information.
Creating a Label / Tag
- Go to the repository in which you want to create the security label
- Click on the Issues tab
- Click on the Labels button
- Click on the New Label button
- Enter a name for the label (e.g., "security")
- Choose a color for the label
- Select a description for the label, if desired
- Click Create Label to save the new label
Once you have created the security label, you can add it to any issues that contain security-related information. This will allow you to identify these issues and prioritize them accordingly quickly. To add the label to an issue,
- When creating or editing an issue, click the Labels button and select the security label from the list.
- Vanta will then grab the ticket/issue and track it to ensure it has been assigned to someone and remediated. Vanta leverages the GitHub integration itself to leverage test automation with GitHub Issues
