## What Are Tasks?

Tasks in Sentry represent actionable security items that require attention, including:

**Security Guide Items**\
Incomplete items from your W3OS security guides, automatically prioritized by risk and impact.

**Alert Follow-ups**\
Security alerts that require investigation or remediation, such as:

* Unresolved breach alerts
* Domain content changes requiring verification
* GitHub security vulnerabilities needing patches
* Endpoint security web3 threat policy violations

**Compliance Actions**\
Required steps to maintain or improve security compliance:

* Scheduled security reviews
* Policy updates
* Access control audits
* Team member security training

**Scheduled Security Activities**\
Recurring security tasks like:

* Password rotation reminders
* Access permission reviews
* Backup verification
* Security posture assessments

## Task Management Features

### Intelligent Prioritization

Tasks are automatically sorted by:

* **Severity**: Critical security issues appear first
* **Age**: Older unresolved items are highlighted
* **Impact**: Higher-impact security measures are prioritized
* **Dependencies**: Tasks that unblock others are surfaced

### Assignment and Delegation

* Assign tasks to specific team members based on roles and responsibilities
* Track who's responsible for each security action
* Receive notifications when tasks are assigned to you
* View team-wide task completion metrics

### Progress Tracking

* Monitor overall task completion rate
* View individual and team task backlogs
* Track time-to-resolution for security issues
* Identify bottlenecks in security workflow

### Integration with Monitoring

Tasks are automatically created from:

* Active security alerts requiring response
* Failed security header checks
* Detected credential breaches
* GitHub vulnerabilities and dependency alerts
* Endpoint policy violations

## Using the Tasks Interface

**View All Tasks**\
Access the Tasks page to see all outstanding security actions across your organization.

**Filter and Search**

* Filter by severity, type, assignee, or status
* Search for specific security issues
* Group by category or deadline

**Take Action**

* Mark tasks as complete when resolved
* Add notes about remediation steps taken
* Defer low-priority tasks with explanations
* Create custom tasks for organization-specific security needs

**Track Metrics**

Important security gaps that should be addressed within days.

**Standard Priority**\
