Sync issues directly from Pensar

Overview⁠

The Pensar integration brings security findings directly into your team’s existing workflow by automatically syncing vulnerabilities and pentest results into Linear issues. This keeps engineers focused in one place, shortens the gap between detection and fix, and makes security work visible, actionable, and trackable alongside everyday product development.

How it works⁠

Once the Linear integration is configured, Pensar automatically maps each workspace to a specific Linear team and project chosen during setup. When Pensar runs a pentest and identifies a new security issue, it creates a corresponding Linear issue in the selected project, preserving context such as severity, affected files, and a clear description of the problem.

As pentests continue to run, Pensar keeps Linear in sync with the current state of each finding. Updates to an issue in Pensar - such as changes in status, additional context from follow-up tests, or remediation progress - are reflected in Linear so engineers always see the latest information without switching tools or manually updating tickets.

This workflow ensures security findings are treated like any other piece of engineering work. By living directly in Linear, issues can be prioritized, assigned, and tracked using existing team processes, while Pensar remains the source of truth for detection, analysis, and ongoing monitoring.

Configure⁠

To enable the Linear integration, a user must have workspace admin permissions in Pensar. The integration is connected at the workspace level, so only admins can authorize access and manage global integration settings.

Setup starts in the Pensar Console under Workspace Settings → Integrations, where an admin connects the Linear account for the workspace. This establishes the authorization Pensar needs to create and update issues in Linear on your behalf.

Once Linear is connected, the integration is enabled per project. In Project Settings, turn on Linear sync and select the Linear team where issues should be created. From that point on, any issues found by Pensar for that project will automatically be created and kept up to date in the selected Linear team.
