Is Your Atlassian Instance Ready for AI? The 5-Pillar Readiness Check
An AI-ready Atlassian instance is one where the data is five things – tidy, current, governed, accountable and legible – because an AI agent is only ever as trustworthy as the instance it reads from.

Supporting NIS2 compliance in Confluence with Compliance and Workflows for Confluence
The NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) has moved from “coming soon” to “being enforced.” The scope is vast – roughly 160,000 organisations across 18 sectors – and the stakes are real: management bodies are personally accountable, and fines reach up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover.

A Smarter Way to Achieve ISO 9001 Compliance with Workflows for Confluence
If you’re evaluating how to achieve ISO 9001 compliance inside Confluence, you may think you need to invest in standalone Quality Management System (QMS) software.

But what if there was a solution that enabled […]
How to Enhance Compliance With Multi-Factor Authentication
If you’re using Confluence to facilitate your Information Security Management System (ISMS), or to power a secure internal knowledge base, you may want to secure it with multi-factor authentication.
