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

Description

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

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

Setup steps

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