Content Retention Manager enforces organization-specific data retention rules directly within Confluence or Jira. It automates the deletion or purging of content once it meets its expiration date, creates audit logs of all activity, and enables one-click exports for compliance evidence—helping you satisfy regulations like ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, FINRA, and GDPR.
Yes. Administrators can configure multiple policies and assign them at a granular level—for example, by space in Confluence, by project in Jira, or even by Classification. You can also override default retention rules for specific use cases or content types (e.g., legal-hold items that must be kept longer than normal)
No, you don’t have to enforce automatic deletion right away. You can configure the tool to simply track which content is eligible for deletion, allowing you to review and confirm that your policies work as intended. Once you’re satisfied with the observed effects and comfortable with the policy settings, you can enable automated deletion and purging so that everything runs on autopilot going forward.
When data reaches the end of its retention period, Content Retention Manager first deletes it (removing it from active use), and then permanently purges it on the schedule you set. Once purged, the data is irrecoverable, which is very often a regulatory requirement. You can optionally extend or exempt certain items before they hit their expiration date to avoid accidental permanent deletion.
Not at all. It’s available through the Atlassian Marketplace for Confluence Cloud and Jira Cloud, so installation is a few clicks. Opus Guard’s admin console is integrated right into Confluence and Jira, making it easy for Atlassian admins to configure everything. Because it’s cloud-based, there’s no separate infrastructure to manage, and all your data stays only in your Atlassian Cloud site.
Opus Guard provides you separate but very similar apps for Confluence and Jira. They have the same core code, functionality, and user experience, but each is tuned to the product’s data structures (e.g., pages and attachments in Confluence vs. issues in Jira). You can deploy both to manage retention in each environment consistently.
