Jira Upkeep in the Public Sector: Optimizer for Jira Now Available on Atlassian Government Cloud

[#1]

Supporting Jira Governance in Government & Regulated Environments

Teams operating in the public sector and other highly regulated environments often need stronger visibility, governance, and operational oversight across their Atlassian tools.

That’s why we’re excited to share that robust and comprehensive Jira governance is now available on Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC).

Atlassian Government Cloud is designed for organizations that require FedRAMP Moderate–aligned infrastructure and government-grade security controls, enabling public sector agencies, federal contractors, and regulated industry teams to run mission-critical collaboration tools in a compliance-ready environment.

Why Governance and Visibility Matter in Jira Government Cloud

It's not just about data protection for highly-regulated government authorities - it's also about safeguarding the contracts and relationships that exist in the wider public sector ecosystem.

For administrators managing Jira Government Cloud environments, maintaining a healthy and well-governed instance can become increasingly challenging over time. As organizations grow, Jira instances often accumulate:

• Unused or rarely used custom fields

• Redundant workflows and screens

• Configuration sprawl across projects

• Technical debt that slows down administration and performance

Improving Jira Instance Health and Governance with Optimizer for Jira

Our marketplace app Optimizer for Jira helps platform teams and Jira administrators audit, understand, and refine their Jira configuration landscape by providing clear visibility into how instance components are actually being used, and the bulk tooling to look after them with.

Key capabilities include:

• Instance health checks that highlight unused or redundant configurations

• Visibility into custom field usage, workflows, and other configuration objects

• Bulk actions and smart tables that dramatically speed up cleanup tasks

• Exportable insights that support governance reviews, migrations, and documentation

Use Cases in Government and Compliance-Focused Environments

For teams operating in government, defense, and other compliance-focused environments, this type of visibility can be especially valuable when preparing for:

• Jira migrations or cloud transitions

• Security and governance reviews

• Ongoing instance optimization and performance improvements

With Optimizer now available for Atlassian Government Cloud, organizations running secure Atlassian environments for public sector workloads can use the same tools to maintain a clean, efficient, and well-governed Jira instance, safe in the knowledge that the work that they are doing is secure and compliance-ready.
