Data Protection Officers: Here’s the Jira Add-on You’ve Been Waiting For
Introduction:
If you’re a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for GDPR, CCPA, or general data governance—and your organization uses Jira—you know the struggle.
Policies aren’t enough. You need visibility, actionability, and traceability. You need tools.
That’s exactly where the Data Protection and Security Toolkit comes in.
The DPO’s Challenges in Jira
Jira wasn’t designed for data privacy. And that’s okay—until it becomes your problem.
-
You need to find where personal data is stored
-
You need to respond to data subject requests (DSRs)
-
You need logs to show your actions
-
You need to prove compliance
And most of all—you need to do it quickly and reliably.
What the Toolkit Does for DPOs
DPT is like your virtual assistant inside Jira:
-
Sensitive Data Scanning
Pinpoint PII in issue summaries, comments, fields, and attachments. -
Anonymization
Fulfill “right to be forgotten” requests instantly—without harming issue history. -
Customizable Rules
Scan for anything your legal team defines as sensitive—from employee IDs to support case numbers. -
Reporting
Export proof of action. Answer audit questions in minutes—not hours.
Better Visibility. Stronger Control.
You don’t need to nag engineering or security anymore. With DPT, you control the compliance operations—right from your admin panel.
Why DPOs Love It

No scripting or technical setup required
-
Built for both Jira Cloud and Data Center
