Full email encryption with S/Notify for Jira and Confluence

Confidential material needs protection

Atlassian Jira and Confluence are most versatile collaboration tools used by 150,000 customers in over 190 countries according to Atlassian. Their users create and work on new ideas and improvements for their companies, thus accumulating a treasure of know-how. S/Notify is an app that plugs into Jira and Confluence and protects these valuable assets by enabling customers to encrypt the confidential contents in notification emails. More and more customers realize that email encryption is a requirement if confidentiality is to be taken seriously.

In practice, S/Notify for Jira and Confluence is easy to install, integrates seamlessly, and adopts well to different environments. Not only do customers have the choice to use either S/MIME or PGP encryption or even a mixture of both in the same installation. It's also simple to use a central keystore. For example, to retrieve encryption keys from the LDAP that manages Jira and Confluence users, it's enough to simply tick a checkbox.

New features in S/Notify 3.0

With version 3.0, S/Notify has become even more versatile. For example, it now enables Jira and Conflunce to sign all outgoing emails for a proof of their authenticity. Jira even gets full support for incoming encrypted emails which will be decrypted transparently. This is most convenient especially for Jira Service Desk customers who can now support full roundtrip encryption: encrypted outgoing email notifications as well as encrypted incoming replies.

Another useful feature is the option to switch on encryption for some Jira projects or Confluence spaces only, as it helps to gradually work towards better email protection without the pressure that a big bang change would put on an enterprise.

Compliance for a minimal effort

Once setup and working, all the detailed project and business insights which are sent with email notifications from Jira and Confluence, are secured with state of the art end-to-end encryption. With HIPAA in the US and GDPR in Europe, and their demands towards the protection of data and the possible consequences from data breaches, this aspect has become more important than ever. S/Notify makes a great contribution to securing data which should not be leaked outside your company.
