Git for Confluence: Security, Compliance, and the Forge Migration
SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cloud Fortified, and built on Atlassian Forge. How Git for Confluence meets enterprise security requirements — and how it compares to every alternative.
Git for Confluence is the only Confluence Git integration that holds SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701:2019, and Cloud Fortified certifications simultaneously — while supporting all four major Git providers. Built on Atlassian Forge for better performance and tighter platform integration.
Security: SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cloud Fortified
No competitor in this category holds all of these simultaneously.
What this means in practice: file content is never stored on Git for Confluence's servers — every page view triggers a live fetch from your repository. Read-only access, no write permissions.
For teams in regulated industries — aerospace, defense, financial services, healthcare — these certifications are a procurement requirement, not a nice-to-have.
How Git for Confluence compares
No other app in this category covers all four Git providers while holding SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701, and Cloud Fortified status simultaneously.

Real-world use cases
Compliance documentation
Keep security policies and audit trails version-controlled in GitLab. Surface them in Confluence. When auditors ask, every version is traceable to a specific commit with timestamp and author.
API documentation
Embed your OpenAPI spec in Confluence and it renders as interactive docs — endpoints, parameters, response schemas. One file maintained by developers, readable by everyone.
Architecture diagrams
Engineers maintain Mermaid or PlantUML files alongside code. Product managers and executives always see the current system state without asking anyone for an update.
Onboarding documentation
READMEs, setup guides, and runbooks stay in the repo. New team members read them in Confluence. When engineers update the process, the docs update too.
Multi-team documentation
Build Confluence spaces that pull content from multiple repositories, all staying in sync, without anyone maintaining duplicate pages.
What Forge brings to Git for Confluence in 2026
Git for Confluence is built on Atlassian's Forge platform — Atlassian's modern, cloud-native app runtime. For users, this means:
Better performance. Forge apps run closer to Confluence's own infrastructure. Page loads with embedded Git content are faster.
Tighter Confluence integration. Forge opens access to the Teamwork Graph, Rovo AI, and Confluence's native permission model — making Git content searchable within Confluence's own search index.
Security model alignment. Forge apps run within Atlassian's own infrastructure boundaries — giving security-conscious customers more assurance about where data is processed.
