Monitor cybersecurity compliance and send weekly reports via SIEM, Jira, PostgreSQL, Slack and email

This n8n workflow automates continuous compliance monitoring across IT, OT, and cloud environments by aggregating security controls, validating policies (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, SOC2), detecting anomalies in logs and configurations, generating real-time alerts, creating remediation tickets, and delivering audit-ready weekly reports with compliance scorecards, risk trends, and evidence logs.

How it works

1. Trigger — Runs every Monday at 9 AM
2. Scan & collect — Initiates full security scan and fetches 7 days of SIEM logs in parallel
3. Analyze — Detects log anomalies, scores policy controls, classifies as COMPLIANT / WARNING / NON-COMPLIANT
4. Remediate — Creates Jira tickets for findings; sends critical alerts for non-compliant status
5. Store — Saves report to PostgreSQL for historical trend tracking
6. Report — Generates HTML compliance scorecard and delivers via Email + Slack

Setup steps

1. Security APIs — Replace placeholder URLs with your SIEM, vulnerability scanner, and policy engine
2. PostgreSQL — Create a compliance_reports table to store weekly results
3. Jira — Update the ticket API URL with your Jira or ServiceNow instance
4. Slack — Add your incoming webhook URL to the Slack node
5. Email — Configure SMTP credentials and set from / to addresses
6. Test — Run manually to verify all connections, then activate
