The topic of data security is becoming increasingly relevant, which makes it all the more important to promote the right processes. Atlassian tools such as Jira and Confluence are particularly in focus.
As an Atlassian Solution Partner, we know all too well how nerve-wracking this topic can be and what pitfalls lie in wait.
That is why we provide you with information.
1. Atlassian’s approach to data security
Data security is taken very seriously by Atlassian, so they are constantly developing it.
Above all, security is a question of trust, which is why Atlassian can convince with a number of certifications and platforms:
- Certifications according to ISO/IEC 27001 and 27018: They are proof of the continuous improvement and preoccupation with the topic of data security.
More information: https://www.atlassian.com/trust/compliance/resources/iso27001 - SOC 2 Type II reports: The independent reports test Atlassian with regard to reliability, security, process integrity, confidentiality and data protection. They therefore guarantee the highest current standard.
More information: https://www.atlassian.com/trust/compliance/resources/soc2 - Data residency: The decision whether cloud or data center is entirely up to you. You are free to determine the location and therefore have control over your data.
More information: https://www.atlassian.com/software/data-residency - Single sign-on (SSO) and two-factor authentication (2FA): these two options are simple and highly effective, as they mitigate the risk of unwanted access to one of your Atlassian tools such as Confluence or Jira.
- Enterprise Key Management (EKM): It is a digital key assignment so that the control of who has access to your Atlassian tools lies entirely with you. This allows you to ensure security within the Atlassian Cloud yourself.
2. Cloud or data center, which is more suitable?
Atlassian’s cloud-first strategy, as the name suggests, focuses on the cloud solution, which does not mean that the data center is inferior. This option also offers advantages. The decision as to which data preparation is better depends on your needs, ideas and requirements. Don’t hesitate to contact us so that we can discuss the advantages and disadvantages and advise you.
3. Best practices for data security using your Atlassian tools:
There are other measures besides Atlassian solutions that you can take with your organization to protect your data.
– Clearly differentiated role structure in your company: by describing a role in detail, you know which accesses are necessary and which are not relevant and can therefore be left out. This ensures that only certain people can view certain data.
– Integration with your Enterprise Identity Management (IdP): protect your data with IdP integration, which puts you in control of user management so that you can set access restrictions for all your systems and tools.
– Monitoring internal activities: this enables you to identify errors in internal process steps, tasks or procedures at an early stage and mitigate them more quickly. For example, if you receive an access request from someone outside your company, you can respond to the potential scam as quickly as possible instead of it going unnoticed. The clutter in your mailbox is preventing you from doing your job, do not hesitate to contact us!
– Atlassian Guard: Atlassian’s threat protection ensures early detection of risks. Due to centralized management, this applies to all your cloud
