Complete Data Protection for Jira and Confluence: Your Guide to the Data Protection and Security Toolkit
In today’s digital world, organizations using Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence are increasingly exposed to data privacy risks. Whether it’s customer information, employee records, or sensitive business data—ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA is now a core responsibility for IT teams and Data Protection Officers (DPOs).
The Data Protection and Security Toolkit (DPT) is a powerful, all-in-one solution that helps you detect, manage, and anonymize sensitive data across your Atlassian environment.
What is the Data Protection and Security Toolkit?
The Data Protection and Security Toolkit for Jira and Confluence is a compliance-focused app available on the Atlassian Marketplace, supporting both Cloud and Data Center deployments.
It offers an extensive range of data protection features, built specifically for Atlassian administrators, privacy teams, and security officers.
Key Features of the Data Protection and Security Toolkit:
1. Sensitive Data Detection
Automatically scan Jira issues, Confluence pages, and comments for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) like:
-
Email addresses
-
Credit card numbers
-
Usernames

Passwords

Custom data patterns using regular expressions (regex)
This helps reduce the risk of data leaks and ensures sensitive information is identified before it becomes a compliance issue.
