Atlassian has ended new Data Center (DC) license sales and continues to prioritize Cloud for new customers. If you’re already using a data center, you have to plan your migration to the Cloud. And if you’re buying your first license, Atlassian Cloud is the only option.
That shift comes with multiple benefits, like agility, scalability, and lower cost overhead. However, your DC environment, being on-premise, gave you more direct control over security.
When you move to Atlassian Cloud, that responsibility shifts to a shared cloud model. You still need strong controls around user access, sensitive data, external sharing, and API activity to protect your environment.
That is where miniOrange marketplace apps come in.
As a trusted Atlassian Marketplace vendor, we build security-first solutions designed to extend Atlassian Cloud with enterprise-ready identity and access management.
Here’s a deep dive into our apps and where they fit into your stack.

2. AI Governance
Supported Apps: Jira and Confluence
AI assistants like Claude can now read and change things in Jira and Confluence for you. That’s powerful, but it raises two questions: who decides what the AI is allowed to touch, and how do you know what it actually did?
AI Governance sits in the middle. Claude connects to AI Governance instead of connecting to Atlassian directly. Every request the AI makes passes through two checks before anything happens: your rules decide what each AI, person, or group may do, and every action is recorded.
Who It’s For: Teams that use AI assistants with Jira and Confluence and need control, visibility, and accountability for AI actions.
Key Capabilities:
- Allow or block actions by AI, user group, or type of action
- Apply policies that prevent risky actions, such as deleting Jira issues or Confluence pages
- Route AI assistants through a governed MCP endpoint instead of a direct Atlassian connection
- Require users to sign in individually so every AI action is tied to a real person
- Record allowed and blocked AI actions in a searchable Activity Log
- View the user, AI source, operation, decision, request arguments, response size, and latency for each action
- Review dashboards for request totals, block rate, top tools, and allowed versus blocked activity
Benefits:
- Control what AI assistants can access and do
- Stop risky actions before they happen
- Maintain a complete record of every AI action
- Apply different AI permissions by user group
- Improve accountability for AI activity across Jira and Confluence
How To Get Started: Install AI Governance from the Atlassian Marketplace. Allow the governed callback URL in Rovo, copy your MCP server URL, and add it as a custom connector in Claude. Then configure your Access Policy and review activity in the Activity Log.
