Access Evidence for Jira and Confluence reviews

Run access reviews without rebuilding the audit file by hand

Access Evidence gives control owners a review workflow inside Atlassian: create the review, assign decisions, track remediation, document coverage gaps, and export the evidence while the work is still fresh.

Trials, purchase, billing, and exact pricing are handled on Atlassian Marketplace.

Built for Jira, Confluence, security, and control owners who need scoped reviews with exportable proof.

Why teams install Access Evidence

The hard part of access reviews is not asking people to look at access. It is proving what scope was reviewed, who decided, what changed afterward, and which gaps were accepted instead of silently disappearing into chat threads.

The buyer-facing output is a review packet with findings, decisions, remediation state, job receipts, integrity context, and a coverage-and-gaps summary that an auditor or internal control owner can inspect. A job receipt records who ran the export, when it ran, and what it contained.

What you can show

  • Review scope and reviewer decisions stay attached to the evidence export.
  • Remediation can be tracked as attested complete, verified complete, exception, or still open.
  • Coverage gaps are named in the pack instead of hidden behind a clean-looking spreadsheet.
  • Jira and Confluence review flows can be documented from the product surfaces where admins actually work.

Compared with native Jira and manual review work

Need Native or manual path Access Evidence
Manual permission exports Scope and reviewer decisions usually live outside the export. Scoped reviews keep findings, decisions, remediation, and export records together.
Spreadsheet trackers Status is easy to separate from the underlying permission evidence. Remediation can be tracked as attested, verified, exception, or still open.
Screenshots Screenshots show a moment in time but rarely prove coverage or follow-up. Evidence packs include scope, findings, decisions, job receipts, and coverage gaps.

Fit and boundaries

Best for: Admins, security teams, and control owners that need access review evidence and follow-up tracking.

Not for: Automatic permission changes without reviewer action or a broad identity governance replacement.

Where it fits

Use Access Evidence when access-review proof is scattered across Jira roles, Confluence permissions, spreadsheets, screenshots, and reviewer messages. It fits teams that want the review workflow and the export record to stay together.

Use cases

  • Prepare evidence for SOX, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or internal access controls.
  • Review privileged Jira project roles and Confluence space permissions.
  • Record why access was kept, removed, or excepted.
  • Track remediation when permissions need follow-up.
  • Preserve review history and integrity details for repeat audits.

Core capabilities

  • Scoped reviews for Jira projects and Confluence spaces.
  • Reviewer assignment and decision capture with justification and optional expiry.
  • Remediation status from finding through verification.
  • Evidence exports containing scope, findings, decisions, remediation records, job receipts, and integrity metadata.
  • Retained review history and coverage-gap tracking for repeat audits.

Typical workflow

  1. Scope the review

    Choose the Jira projects or Confluence spaces that need access verification.

  2. Generate findings

    Access Evidence scans selected scope and creates review findings.

  3. Assign reviewers

    Route review work to owners who can keep, remove, or exception access.

  4. Track remediation

    Record follow-up status and verification details until closure.

  5. Export evidence

    Package the review record for auditors or internal control testing.

Security, privacy, and support

  • Review configuration, findings, decisions, remediation state, and evidence metadata are stored in Forge app storage.
  • The app uses selected projects or spaces to narrow product-level Atlassian permissions in the workflow.
  • Evidence exports are generated from stored review records and integrity metadata.
  • Support and privacy documentation explain retention, deletion, and customer controls.

FAQ

Does Access Evidence change permissions automatically?

No. Admins and reviewers remain responsible for permission changes. The app records findings, decisions, remediation status, and evidence.

Can one review include Jira and Confluence?

Each review uses one product scope at a time. Create separate reviews when Jira projects and Confluence spaces both need review.

What goes into an evidence pack?

Evidence packs include review scope, findings, decisions, remediation records, job receipts, and integrity metadata. A job receipt records who ran an export, when it ran, and what files it produced.

Where is data stored?

Access Evidence stores app data in Atlassian Forge app storage and uses Atlassian-managed runtime infrastructure.
