The next chapter of public sector investments: New milestones, new deployment options

Public sector agencies face mounting pressure to modernize under strict data sovereignty and security mandates while adopting AI. Atlassian’s existing mission-critical tools like Jira and Confluence are central to these efforts, but agencies need compliant pathways to integrate AI without compromising sensitive operations. The company is accelerating its compliance certifications, including Impact Level 5 (IL5) and FedRAMP High, to meet urgent government timelines while maintaining data protection standards.

To address the most sensitive workloads, Atlassian is developing a fully air-gapped deployment of its core platform in collaboration with U.S. government partners. This solution targets agencies operating at IL6 and above, ensuring complete network isolation for mission-critical systems. The technical design phase is underway, with early engagement from strategic partners to validate real-world requirements before deployment.

For agencies with regional data sovereignty requirements, Atlassian is working with European infrastructure providers to create sovereign cloud offerings. These potential solutions aim to meet emerging regulatory mandates in key markets by ensuring data never crosses regional boundaries. Early design partners are being sought to shape the final offering, with account teams available for inquiries.

With Data Center end-of-life set for March 28, 2029, Atlassian is providing updated deployment options to help agencies transition smoothly to cloud-based, AI-powered systems. The expanded options include Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Rovo, and Guard, ensuring continuity for critical public sector operations. Agencies are encouraged to consult their account teams for tailored guidance on migration and compliance pathways.
