> Strategy Hub's security posture as an Atlassian Forge app that runs entirely on Atlassian's infrastructure, storing no customer data of its own

Canonical: https://docs.caskcode.io/strategy-hub/security/

**Security Policy · Version 1.0 · July 14, 2026**

This page describes the security posture of **Strategy Hub** for Jira, published by CaskCode. Strategy Hub is built entirely on [Atlassian Forge](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/security/), Atlassian's managed cloud app platform. That architecture is the foundation of our security model: the app has no servers, databases, or infrastructure of its own — application code runs inside Atlassian's cloud, and customer data is stored in Atlassian-managed storage.

## Hosting and infrastructure

- Strategy Hub runs exclusively on Atlassian Forge. We do not operate any servers, containers, or self-hosted services that process customer data.
- All infrastructure security — physical security, network security, host patching, encryption at rest, availability — is provided and operated by Atlassian. See the [Atlassian Trust Center](https://www.atlassian.com/trust) for details on Atlassian's certifications and practices.

## Data storage and residency

- All customer content created in Strategy Hub (strategic items, comments, settings, backups) is stored in Atlassian-managed Forge storage (Forge SQL, Forge Key-Value Store, and Forge Object Store) within Atlassian's cloud.
- Because storage is Forge-hosted, app data automatically inherits your Jira site's **data residency**: if your site is pinned to a region, Strategy Hub's data is pinned to the same region. No action is required from administrators.
- Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by Atlassian.

## Data leaving the Atlassian platform

Strategy Hub sends **no customer content** outside the Atlassian platform. The only data egress is content-free operational telemetry:

- **Product analytics** (PostHog, hosted in the EU — Frankfurt, Germany): pseudonymous usage events (feature used, screen viewed). Never item names, descriptions, comments, or any other user-authored text.
- **Error monitoring** (Sentry, hosted in Germany): error reports containing technical identifiers and stack traces. Error messages are restricted to entity keys and codes — never user content.

All egress endpoints are declared in the app's Forge manifest and disclosed on the Marketplace **Privacy & Security** tab. Session replay, where enabled, masks all on-screen text and images by design. See our [Privacy Policy](https://docs.caskcode.io/strategy-hub/privacy) for full details.

## Access control

- The app acts only within the OAuth scopes granted at installation (read-level Jira and Teams scopes plus app storage); administrators review and consent to these scopes when installing or upgrading.
- Strategy Hub does not use Personal Access Tokens and does not store any credentials, tokens, or passwords.
- In-app permissions (roles such as admin/editor/viewer) are enforced server-side on every request.

## Secure development

- All changes are made through version control with code review and a mandatory automated test suite (unit, integration, and end-to-end tests) before release.
- Dependencies are monitored and updated regularly.
- As a Marketplace cloud app, Strategy Hub is continuously scanned by Atlassian's [Ecoscanner](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/ecoscanner/) security monitoring program.
