How to Find and Remove Sensitive Data in Jira and Confluence Automatically
Intro:
Your Atlassian tools are a productivity powerhouse. But they also store a dangerous amount of sensitive data. Whether it’s pasted in a ticket, embedded in a page, or buried in comments—private info can slip in unnoticed.
And if your organization handles customer data, employee records, or user credentials, you could be out of compliance without realizing it.
Manual Cleanup is a Dead End
You might think: “We’ll just search manually.” But with thousands of issues and pages, that’s not scalable. Sensitive data hides in attachments, system fields, and even user mentions. That’s why smart companies automate it.

The Risk is Real
A single exposed email address might not seem like a big deal—until it triggers a breach notification, a GDPR fine, or an internal audit failure.
