Case Study: Atlassian achieves embedded automated DevOps controls, streamlined releases and improved code quality with Protiviti

Atlassian, a DevOps leader, partners with Protiviti to deliver cutting-edge IT controls across its environment

Atlassian, a global leader in team collaboration and DevOps tools, faced the challenge of demonstrating strong IT controls for SOX, SOC2, ISO27k and investor transparency while preserving its fast, biweekly Agile/DevOps release cadence. To meet this need without slowing delivery, Atlassian engaged Protiviti for IT, risk and compliance consulting (internal audit, risk, business & technology consulting) to embed control activities into its development processes.

Protiviti worked with Atlassian to design and automate controls within the company’s own toolchain (Jira, BitBucket, Bamboo), for example automating peer‑review checks before release. The embedded, automated controls streamlined the development process, preserved rapid releases, improved code quality, reduced post‑release defects and lowered time spent on defect resolution, while enabling Atlassian to demonstrate effective controls to investors and customers. Protiviti continues to support Atlassian’s ongoing focus on trust, privacy and compliance transparency.
