What is Atlassian Guard, and how does it improve security?

Atlassian Guard is a cloud security solution designed to protect your Atlassian ecosystem by providing advanced access controls, threat detection, and data security features. It helps organisations manage user authentication, detect suspicious activity, and enforce compliance across Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian products.

What’s the difference between Atlassian Guard Standard and Atlassian Guard Premium? Atlassian Guard Standard (formerly Atlassian Access) focuses on identity and access management (IAM) with features like single sign-on (SSO), two-factor authentication (2FA), and audit logs. Atlassian Guard Premium expands on this by adding threat detection, anomaly detection, data classification, and automated security workflows, making it ideal for organisations with high compliance and security needs.

How does Atlassian Guard help with compliance and regulatory requirements? Atlassian Guard supports GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other compliance standards by providing audit trails, access controls, and data protection measures. With automated security monitoring and detailed reporting, organisations can ensure they meet regulatory requirements while protecting sensitive data.

What happened to Beacon? Is it now part of Atlassian Guard? Yes, Beacon’s threat detection and response capabilities have been incorporated into Atlassian Guard Premium. If you were using Beacon during its beta phase, you’ll need to transition to Guard Premium to continue using those security features.

Can Atlassian Guard detect and respond to security threats automatically? Yes, Atlassian Guard Premium includes AI-powered threat detection, which identifies unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or data access. Security teams can set up automated alerts and remediation workflows, allowing them to investigate and respond to threats before they escalate.

How does Atlassian Guard integrate with other security tools? Atlassian Guard supports integrations with identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) and security platforms like SIEM solutions and data loss prevention (DLP) tools. This allows organisations to extend their security posture beyond Atlassian Cloud and unify monitoring across multiple systems.
