ApproveThis manages your Beagle Security Integration approvals.

Why These Two Tools Belong Together

Let's cut to the chase: security teams are drowning in vulnerability reports, while managers are stuck chasing down approvals. Beagle Security finds the holes in your digital armor, and ApproveThis slaps a structured process on getting them fixed. Together? They turn "Oh crap, another critical vulnerability" into "Handled it in 15 minutes during my coffee break."

Beagle Security's automated penetration testing is like having a hacker work for you – except they actually file reports instead of stealing credit card data. But here's the rub: those test results often get stuck in email chains, spreadsheets, or worse – someone's "I'll get to it later" pile. That's where ApproveThis comes in with rules-based approvals that actually match how your company works.

The magic happens through Zapier, acting as the glue between these systems. No developers needed, no month-long implementation projects. We're talking about connecting two specialized tools to create something that's actually useful for the people doing the work.

Real-World Scenarios That Don't Suck

1. From Critical Vulnerability to Approved Fix in One Motion

Picture this: Beagle Security finishes a routine scan at 2 AM and finds a vulnerability that could let attackers drain your AWS account. Instead of that report sitting unread until someone checks their email at 9:30 AM, here's what happens automatically:

Beagle triggers a Zapier workflow that creates an ApproveThis request with all the gory details. The approval workflow knows this is a P1 issue, so it immediately notifies:

• The CISO (via SMS because it's 2:15 AM now)
• The lead DevOps engineer (email + Slack)
• The on-call security analyst (Microsoft Teams)

ApproveThis tracks who approved what and when, while automatically updating your Jira or ServiceNow ticket. The kicker? None of these approvers need a Beagle Security login. They just need to click "Approve" in their email or Slack. No license juggling, no "Can you resend that report?" nonsense.

2. Security Checks Before Approving Major Changes

Flip the script: Your marketing team wants to deploy a new landing page collection. Instead of just trusting that someone ran a security check, ApproveThis triggers a Beagle Security test as part of the approval process.

Here's how it plays out for a mid-sized e-commerce company:

1. Marketing lead submits an ApproveThis request for the new campaign
2. Zapier automatically triggers a Beagle Security scan of the new pages
3. ApproveThis holds the approval workflow until scan results are back
4. Clean report? Auto-approval kicks in. Critical issues? Escalates to security team

This isn't just about preventing disasters – it's about being able to prove you did the security check when auditors come knocking.

Where This Combo Actually Works

For SaaS Companies Shipping Fast

A 200-person fintech startup uses this integration to handle 30+ feature deployments weekly. Their rule: Any code touching payment processing gets an automatic Beagle scan + CISO approval via ApproveThis. Result? They moved from weekly security review meetings to async approvals without slowing deployment cycles.

Healthcare Providers Managing Compliance Hell

A hospital group with 4,000 employees automated their HIPAA compliance checks. Now, any new patient-facing web form triggers:

1. Beagle Security test for data leakage risks
2. ApproveThis workflow requiring sign-off from both IT and compliance officers
3. Automatic documentation in their GRC platform

Their CTO told us it cut audit prep time by 60% last quarter. (We wanted to name-drop them here, but legal said no.)

Setting This Up Without Losing a Day

Here's the no-BS guide to getting this running:

1. Connect the Dots in Zapier

Create a Zapier account if you don't have one (takes 2 minutes). Connect both ApproveThis and Beagle Security – Zapier walks you through the auth process.

2. Pick Your Trigger

Choose either:

• Beagle Trigger: When a security test completes → Create ApproveThis request
• ApproveThis Trigger: When new request starts → Launch Beagle test

3. Map the Important Stuff

This is where most people mess up. Make sure to:

• Pass through Beagle's risk score into ApproveThis' calculated fields
• Set approval thresholds (e.g., auto-approve low-risk fixes, require CISO sign-off for criticals)
• Add contextual data like affected URLs or vulnerability details

Test it with a real vulnerability scan – try approving a fake request from your phone while pretending to be at the beach. If it works then, it'll work in the office.

Who Actually Benefits From This?

IT Teams That Hate Being Bottlenecks

ApproveThis' vacation delegation means security approvals don't grind to a halt when your lead architect is on PTO. The system automatically reroutes requests to the backup approver, with full context from Beagle's report.

Compliance Officers Who Need Paper Trails

Every approval decision in ApproveThis timestamps who approved what, with the exact vulnerability data from Beagle attached. This isn't just convenient – it's audit gold.

Project Managers Shipping Faster

Instead of nagging people to review security reports, set up automated reminders in ApproveThis. If an approval request sits untouched for 24 hours, it escalates up the chain without your involvement.

The Nuts and Bolts You Care About

No License Headaches

External contractors approving fixes? They don't need Beagle logins – just email/Slack access. ApproveThis handles the approval part without extra seats or logins.

Real Calculations, Real Decisions

Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag requests based on Beagle's risk scores. Example: If Beagle finds a CVSS score over 7.0, require VP-level approval automatically.

Security That Doesn't Slow Down Sales

For customer-facing teams: When Beagle clears a client portal update, ApproveThis can auto-generate the client approval email with one click. No more "Wait, is this secure?" delays before going live.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most app integrations just shuffle data between systems. This combo actually changes how teams work:

For developers: Clear approval rules mean less guessing about what needs security review

For execs: Automated audit trails mean less liability

For security teams: Finally get a seat at the table without being the "Department of No"

The kicker? You can start small. Maybe just automate approvals for low-risk vulnerabilities first. Once that works, expand to critical systems. No need to boil the ocean.

Make It Happen

If you've got Beagle Security and manual approvals, you're already paying the price in slowed-down releases and security debt. ApproveThis doesn't require ripping out existing systems – it just layers smart approvals on top.

Book a 15-minute demo and we'll show you exactly how to set this up with your current Beagle workflows. Or start a free trial and connect the Zap yourself – we've got pre-built templates for the most common use cases.

Pro tip: The companies that get this right are the ones where security becomes an invisible accelerator, not a speed bump. This integration is how you pull that off.
