Security in Atlassian Cloud: Stronger protection – less administration

Security is one of the most important factors when choosing a cloud solution, particularly in an IT security cloud data center context. With Atlassian Cloud, you get a platform built with security at every level – so your IT team can focus on development instead of firefighting.

Built for Safety: Embedded security and continuous protection

What makes Atlassian Cloud secure from the start?

By moving Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian products to the cloud, you hand over the responsibility for security updates, encryption, and compliance to Atlassian’s expert team. This means real-time protection, built-in control mechanisms, and support for regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO/IEC 27001. For organizations with strict information security and privacy requirements, this provides extra peace of mind.

Comparison with Atlassian Data Center

Compared to the Data Center solution – where all security tasks must be managed in-house – the Cloud offers more predictability and fewer vulnerabilities. You also gain access to Atlassian Guard, an advanced security solution that helps you monitor users and access, and ensures your data doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. The solution includes features like two-factor authentication, SAML SSO, and detailed audit logs, and allows you to manage users across your entire organization.

Compliance and data sovereignty in the Cloud

In addition, flexible data storage makes it easier to meet Norwegian requirements for data control and storage. Atlassian Cloud offers data residency in the EU and several other jurisdictions, which is especially important for public sector organizations, as well as those in healthcare and finance. You can therefore choose cloud storage that aligns with your organization’s data sovereignty and risk management needs.

Continuous improvement and proactive security

Cloud security is also about continuous development. Atlassian invests heavily in cybersecurity and performs regular tests and security assessments. This means that as a customer, you always have access to the latest and most secure version – without needing to plan and run your own upgrade projects.

Access and Mobile Security for Distributed Teams

Cloud-based security also makes it easier to adapt to modern ways of working. Whether you have developers in Trondheim, designers in Oslo, and a security team in Bergen, Atlassian Cloud ensures secure access via browser or mobile app – without the need for VPNs or on-premise infrastructure.

A Secure Migration Starts with Knowledge and Guidance

Security in the cloud is about more than just technology – it’s about peace of mind, predictability, and having a great partner to guide you through the process. Choosing a new solution can be a complex project.

By collaborating with an expert, you can ensure your transition to Atlassian Cloud is secure and effective.
