Key Features

Encryption for Jira in action
- Keep sensitive employee data secure:
a Human Resources Jira instance may contain sensitive salary details stored in a text field. Use Encryption for Jira’s Encrypted Custom Field to secure this information in the database.
- Stay GDPR compliant:
organisations such as healthcare companies are able to protect sensitive patient information in their Jira system by encrypting it in their databases and file systems.
- Reduce the impact of hacking attacks:
by protecting information in your database, if unwanted users break through your firewall they will not be able to read your encrypted sensitive information
- Avoid unwanted admin access:
certain database/file system admins will have access to all company data. There may be more junior admins or even external/outsourced admins who you would not wish to have access to this data. E4J allows you to restrict access to only those with the encryption key.
- Control exactly what is encrypted:
if you only need to protect certain projects, you can encrypt attachments at a project level only. Perhaps when storing information related to a client who has requested you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
