Runs on Atlassian Badge: What Does It Mean?

We’re excited to announce that all of our apps on the Atlassian Marketplace now carry the new “Runs on Atlassian” badge — a mark of trust, performance, and robust data security. This badge signifies that an app runs entirely on Atlassian’s own cloud infrastructure, offering best-in-class protection for your data with zero data egress.

What Is the “Runs on Atlassian” Badge?

Introduced by Atlassian in May 2025, the “Runs on Atlassian” badge highlights Marketplace apps that are fully hosted on Atlassian’s cloud platform. These apps never transfer data outside of your Atlassian Cloud instance. In simple terms:

  • No external data processing
  • No third-party servers
  • No data egress — ever

 

This is a game-changing guarantee for companies that prioritize data residency, privacy, and compliance.

What’s the difference between Runs on Atlassian and Cloud Fortified?

Our apps hold both badges, but you might wonder what’s the difference between both. We can quote the official blog post from Atlassian at this point:

Both Runs on Atlassian and Cloud Fortified are trust badges, but they reflect different aspects of an app’s security posture.

  • Runs on Atlassian indicates that apps are Atlassian-hosted and won’t egress data without the customer’s consent, a technical fact that Atlassian can programmatically verify.
  • Cloud Fortified is a broader set of signals that includes organizational behaviors and practices, like support, reliability, and bug bounty participation.

 

Because they reflect different requirements, an app might have one of the badges, or both. Cloud Fortified is an important signal that a partner has invested in advanced trust practices across their business.

Why It Matters for You

In today’s cloud-driven environment, security and compliance are top of mind for IT teams, security professionals, and business leaders alike. The “Runs on Atlassian” designation assures you that:

  • Your data stays inside the Atlassian Cloud at all times
  • App performance is optimized with Atlassian’s secure, high-availability infrastructure
  • You meet internal compliance and governance standards more easily
  • There’s no need for additional security audits or vendor risk assessments

 

For organizations in regulated industries or those with strict data governance policies, this badge provides peace of mind that third-party app usage won’t compromise security.

Our Commitment to Secure, Compliant Apps

At ij-solutions, we’re proud to be early adopters of Atlassian’s highest security standards. Our apps — including Epic Clone, Duplicate Epic, Project Milestones, User Absence Planner, and Projects Insight Edge — are now fully compliant with the “Runs on Atlassian” criteria.

This means that when you install any of our apps, you can be confident that:

  • Your data never leaves Atlassian’s secure infrastructure
  • You maintain control over your information
  • You’re using tools built with enterprise-grade security in mind

 

What’s Next

We believe that transparency, trust, and performance are the future of the Atlassian ecosystem. With the “Runs on Atlassian” badge, we’re doubling down on our promise to deliver apps that are not only powerful and easy to use — but also secure by design.
