Cloud product investments
Over the last 12 months, we have invested heavily across our cloud products with a focus on improved performance and security, powerful integrations with both Atlassian and 3rd party offerings, ease of use around search and reporting, and more.
- We are continuing to expand our data residency capabilities and launched data residency in Australia for customers on Cloud Standard and Premium plans. We have plans to launch data residency in Germany, Japan, Canada and the UK in the beginning of 2023.
- In the compliance space, we tackled more industry and geo-based regulations, such as BaFIN and EBA for financial services, and HIPAA for the health industry.
- Since our latest Cloud App Round-up, our developer community has added more than 100 new cloud apps to the Atlassian Marketplace.
- We’ve also added to admin innovations with the launch of mobile device and app management, user activity audit logs, and monthly release tracks to give admins more controls and visibility of their users and products.

Atlassian Access:
Atlassian Access provides centralized, enterprise-grade security and administration for Atlassian cloud products across your organization. Atlassian Access launched 3 years ago, and has since seen a number of improvements that address some of the more prevalent security needs identified in SaaS today. Most recently, we’ve rolled out SCIM user lifecycle management, multiple authentication policies, automatic product discovery, audit logs, org insights, API token controls, and more supported identity providers for SSO and SCIM. Atlassian Access embodies Zero Trust security as a modern solution to modern risks, and we will continue investing heavily in Access as a means to ensure the highest standard of security across your Atlassian cloud products.
