Runs on Atlassian: Security with Atlassian Forge

Atlassian just dropped a new badge, and if you’re a developer or a Jira admin, you know the security conversation just got a lot more specific. For a long time, Jira Cloud was a broad term. Now, it is about exactly where your data lives and who can access it.

Security audits often center on one critical question: “Does this app send sensitive data to an external server?”. Historically, verifying this required deep dives into technical documentation and infrastructure maps. The Runs on Atlassian badge simplifies this process by providing a verified shortcut to trust.

Why Runs on Atlassian Matters

To put it simply, this badge is a “no-guesswork” signal. It proves an app is built entirely on Atlassian Forge, the company’s native development platform.

For teams, this matters because of three main points:

• No Data Egress: Data never leaves the Atlassian ecosystem, it stays right where you expect it to be.
• Atlassian Data Residency: The app follows Jira’s data residency settings by default.
• Inherited Security: The app runs on Atlassian’s own infrastructure. This means it uses the same world-class security as Jira itself.

Standard apps can sometimes leave users guessing about their security, but this badge ends that uncertainty.

Jira Issue Templates Based on Forge

When our team started working on Issue Templates Agent, we knew we had to make a choice. Besides delivering valuable functionality, we decided to prioritize maximum security and nativity, so we built 100% on Forge. We wanted to ensure that when you use a user story template or a standardized bug template, you never have to worry about data leaks. Today, Issue Templates Agent carries the Runs on Atlassian badge with pride. It ensures that every Jira issue template you create stays locked within Atlassian’s secure walls.

Data Security in Jira Test Management Tools

However, we didn’t just stop with templates. We are also happy to share that Appsvio Test Management (ATM) has earned the Runs on Atlassian badge as well. For QA teams, this is a big win. You can now manage your entire testing process directly in Jira, with the peace of mind that your data is fully protected. It is native, secure, and built for the future of the Atlassian Cloud.
