Introduction

What is PII Protection for Jira?​

PII Protection is a powerful Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution designed specifically for Jira Cloud. It safeguards your organization's sensitive information within Jira by automatically detecting and protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), financial data, and other confidential and sensitive data types.

By integrating seamlessly with your Jira environment, PII Protection acts as a vigilant guardian, preventing accidental or malicious exposure of sensitive data through issues, comments, descriptions, or custom fields.

This ensures compliance with industry regulations like GDPR and HIPAA while minimizing the risk of data breaches and protecting your organization's reputation.

Key Benefits​

PII Protection empowers your organization to safeguard sensitive data within Jira Cloud, minimizing risk and streamlining data governance. Here's how:

  • Reduced Risk of Data Breaches: Proactively identify and protect PII, PHI, and other sensitive data from unauthorized access and potential leaks. PII Protection acts as a vigilant guardian, minimizing the likelihood of costly data breaches and reputational damage.
  • Simplified Compliance with Regulations: Navigate complex data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA) with confidence. PII Protection helps ensure your Jira environment adheres to compliance standards by automatically detecting and managing sensitive data, reducing the burden of manual audits and reporting.
  • Streamlined Data Governance: Gain comprehensive visibility into where sensitive data resides within Jira. Easily track, manage, and control access to PII, empowering your organization to establish robust data governance policies and enforce them consistently across your development workflows.

By seamlessly integrating with Jira Cloud, PII Protection provides a powerful and efficient solution for protecting sensitive information without disrupting your team's productivity.
