How to Track Security Tasks in Development Projects?
How to track security tasks in development projects?
Track security tasks by creating dedicated security labels (security:critical, security:high), handling sensitive vulnerabilities in private notes, documenting remediation in NoteVault for audit trails, and prioritizing security fixes with appropriate urgency. Set SLAs for different severity levels and ensure security tasks don't languish in backlog.
Security severity and SLAs
| Severity | Description | SLA | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Actively exploited, data breach | 24 hours | security:critical |
| High | Exploitable, significant impact | 7 days | security:high |
| Medium | Exploitable, limited impact | 30 days | security:medium |
| Low | Minimal risk, hardening | 90 days | security:low |
Security labels
| Label | Purpose |
|---|---|
| security:critical | Immediate action required |
| security:high | Urgent fix needed |
| security:medium | Standard priority |
| security:low | When convenient |
| security:audit | Audit-related task |
| security:compliance | Compliance requirement |
| security:vulnerability | Specific vulnerability |
| security:hardening | Proactive improvement |
Security task template
## Security: [Generic Title - No Details]
Severity: [Critical/High/Medium/Low]
SLA: [Date]
Reporter: [Scanner/Researcher/Internal]
Private Details: [Link to private NoteVault]
Remediation:
- [ ] Assess impact
- [ ] Develop fix
- [ ] Test fix
- [ ] Deploy to staging
- [ ] Verify remediation
- [ ] Deploy to production
- [ ] Update security documentation
Post-Remediation:
- [ ] Update public task with summary
- [ ] Notify stakeholders if required
- [ ] Close related CVE tracking
Handling confidential vulnerabilities:
- Create generic task - "Security fix for authentication module"
- Document privately - Full details in private NoteVault
- Limit assignees - Only security-cleared developers
- Avoid details in comments - Keep discussion private
- Fix and verify - Standard development process
- Post-remediation disclosure - Update task with safe summary
- Audit trail - NoteVault revision history for compliance
