Because of this, Atlassian security compliance cannot be judged by Atlassian’s certifications alone. Your own settings matter. So do user permissions, identity controls, connected apps, and the way third-party vendors handle your data.
A secure Atlassian platform can still become a compliance problem if an app requests too much access, credentials are exposed, or data moves through systems you have not properly reviewed.
The sections ahead break down where these risks come from, what Atlassian expects from organisations and app vendors, and where security testing becomes important.
The Core Security Requirements for Atlassian Deployments
The requirements are different for customers and app developers. If you use Jira or Confluence, you need to review how the environment is configured, who can access it, and what third-party apps can do. Marketplace developers need to meet Atlassian Marketplace security requirements for the apps they build.
Atlassian works against recognised standards and assurance programmes such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CSA CCM. It also publishes guidance for GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP. Coverage is not identical across every product or plan, so the exact scope should always be checked first.
