Scope Security Dashboard for Projects with Production deployments or Releases

Release notes

Problem to solve

The security dashboard capability today shows all projects without any discrimination for the state of that project which makes it difficult to determine what items are most important to look at.

An example of a Security Dashboard that would benefit from an option to more narrowly scope the projects

Intended users

Metrics

User experience goal

Security Analysts ought to quickly be able to look for the projects that need to be secured on the Security Dashboard.

Proposal

We ought to provide users the ability to filter out projects that have either:

  • Create a Release Object
  • Deployed to Production

Further details

This could then allow security analysts look only at projects that ought to have good security practices and allow developers to have projects that need less scrutiny.

  1. This complements the Scan Execution Policies as they also align to "production" requirements.
  2. We could use this to make the Security Dashboard valuable for non-ultimate customers! They could answer - "how many projects" are deploying to production or releasing and don't have security setup!
  3. Additional efforts to make deployments more valuable at the group level: &4276

Is this a cross-stage feature?
