If you are part of a team that understands the effectiveness and productivity advancements the Cloud can provide and is willing to migrate to apply those advancements, but your team holds one or more concerns about the security and protection of making that move, sit tight! We are about to clear the air on just how driven and protective the security behind Atlassian’s Cloud Security services truly are.
1. Encryption and Organization Security
Some of the security features within Atlassian’s cloud services are the following: Encryption in transit and at rest, domain verification and account capture, and Atlassian Access. The encryption services protect data transmitted between you and the applications with Transport Layer Security and Perfect Forward Secrecy. Domain verification allows you to view and manage all users associated with the domain. Finally, a subscription to Atlassian Access is required to connect to your SAML SSO provider for Atlassian cloud products, to track user and group management changes, to view and manage API access, and much more.
2. Privacy
Privacy Shield Framework signifies additional privacy protection for international transfer of data. Users can also view and control the visibility of their accounts on each of the Cloud products. In the works for privacy additionally includes data residency management for secondary data.
3. Compliance
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is currently being worked on by Atlassian to comply with its practices and features in relation to handling personal data. There are several other features Atlassian offers to expand coverage to help organizations meet compliance needs.
4. Reliability
There are several programs solidifying reliability within Atlassian’s Cloud, such as user provisioning (Jira, Confluence) and Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. User provisioning is currently available for those who subscribe to Atlassian Access.
5. Scale
Scale is currently in the works of expanding, as Atlassian is gearing towards 10,000 users per instance within the Cloud. Cloud was originally set for small teams, but now it is growing for larger companies. Check out Atlassian’s Enterprise Cloud service here.
