Security FAQ
What type of data will be stored/processed/accessed?
Actonic’s Notifications for Jira app does not store any personal data or any content in our application or outside Jira.
Users' answers to notifications are stored in Forge storage fully on Atlassian side.
Where and what kind of data is stored?
Our app does not store any data. All data is collected in Forge storage, what ensure secured storing of your data.
In Forge storage following data is stored:
notification template, including:
content of the notification, including:
creator
creation date
notification body
notification header
notification options (buttons)
response of users, including:
response (which button was chosen)
user ID
What platform and programming language was used to develop the application?
To develop our app, we used the Atlassian Forge framework for communications. For back end, we used NodeJS for back-end and for frontend JavaScript.
Which authentication protocols and technologies are supported?
Our Notifications for Jira app works with the Jira authentication system and supports all available authentication settings.
How is data from customers separated from other customers (if the solution is offered in a multi-tenant model)?
In Notifications for Jira, we use a concept that Atlassian refers to as the “tenant context” to achieve logical isolation of all the customers. This is implemented in the Atlassian Forge framework, and Forge apps are isolated to the tenant (site) that they are installed into by design.
This concept ensures that:
Each customer’s data is kept logically segregated from other tenants when at-rest.
Any requests that are processed by Jira or Confluence app versions have a “tenantspecific” view, so other tenants are not impacted.
How is the security monitoring for this app performed?
Our security monitoring includes the following:
Role based mechanism to access all the parts of infrastructure separately.
The app creates a massive collection of event logs for analysis and investigation.
Regularly reviewing of logs to improve alerting mechanisms or to manually identify security incidents.
How often do you perform security testing?
As a part of our internal audit process, once per quarter.
What is your security incident management process?
Our “security incident management plan” is not publicly available at the moment. In case of any incidents, please contact support@actonic.atlassian.net

Yes, as a part of Jira or Confluence security configuration.

Which license do I choose when purchasing an app?
For Jira, you must purchase the app license that matches the highest Jira application tier. For example, if you have a 500-User Jira Software license, and a 20-Agent Jira Service Management license, your Jira apps must be at the 500-User level.
