Github’s Security Findings

GH’s Security Findings helps CTOs and managers ensure code security and reliability by tracking alerts, notifying the right stakeholders, and guiding issues to resolution through a clear, streamlined workflow.

Security alerts are only useful if they reach the right person at the right time. Most teams deal with noisy dashboards, unclear ownership, and no clear path from alert to resolution. I redesigned GitHub's Security Findings to solve exactly that — giving CTOs and engineering managers a workflow that tracks issues, assigns accountability, and drives closure.

From noise to ownership

The hardest part was designing for two distinct users: executives who need a high-level health signal, and managers who need to act on specific alerts. I created a layered view system that serves both without compromise.

Good security UX is invisible until something goes wrong

Engineering managers gained a clear line of sight from alert to resolution — no more dropped issues or unclear ownership. Security workflows that used to stall now move through a defined, accountable process.
