Our app is an all-in-one suite of the most effective and useful modules that companies require to cover all their GDPR needs. You can find some parts of Actonic GDPR in 3rd party apps, but there isn't a single app out there that covers all the GDPR aspects.
What is the difference between the built-in Jira anonymization function and Actonic GDPR app?
Option | Jira built-in anonymization | Actonic GDPR app | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
User anonymization method | Changed into an anonymous, unique alias, like jirauser80900 | Replace references from a person to some special Service User | Anonymization should be a one-way process, without any options to link aliases like jirauser80900 and a real person. Our app provides a not revertable anonymization process and the way to change content ownership to other users. |
Predefined rules for searching and anonymization of Personal Identifiable Information | None | 50+ built-in rules for various SSN, phone numbers, national ID, etc. | Read more: |
Ability to configure custom anonymization patterns | No | Yes | Read more: |
Jira and Confluence provide some functionality for user anonymization out of the box, why do I need your app?
It is possible to anonymize the name of the user, however, this operation doesn't affect user mentions, simple text usage with user names, or other personally identifiable information (PII). Our Data Cleaner module allows you to find any types of PII, anonymize previously deactivated users, etc.
Is it possible to anonymize a user from an external user directory?
If a user belongs to an external user directory (Microsoft Active Directory or other LDAP directory servers) we still can anonymize his content using the "User Anonymizer" module, and switch all the references from a user to be anonymized to a service user. Using the "Data Cleaner" module you can find any other Personal Identifiable Data related to the user and cleanup or anonymize it. What is not possible and not recommended to do with users from external user directories - cleanup Display Name, Email, and User Name. It should be done manually or after deleting the data from an external user management system.
Could I get all my data from Jira/Confluence using the app? This is one of the major requirements of the GDPR.
