Updates to Marketplace Security Enforcement Policy

Updates to Marketplace Security Enforcement Policy

We are updating the Marketplace Security Enforcement Policy to include new requirements for app lifecycle and maintenance. To ensure the Marketplace remains secure and trustworthy, all cloud apps must be actively maintained.

What's changing

To keep the Marketplace secure and trustworthy, every cloud app must be actively maintained. Apps that have not shipped a version update in more than 18 months will be considered unmaintained. These apps will be subject to review under the Cloud App Compliance program. While an unmaintained app is not automatically considered insecure, the 18-month mark serves as a mandatory lifecycle checkpoint. At this point, Atlassian will reassess whether the app continues to meet our security and compliance standards.

What you need to do

If your app is identified as unmaintained, you will be notified and given a defined window to either publish a compliant update or confirm your intent to maintain the listing.

Apps that are not brought back into compliance within that window may be hidden from the Marketplace and possibly subjected to actions detailed in our Marketplace Security Enforcement Policy

For apps with active installs, we will provide a transition period and notify affected customers before any removal. Limited, time-bound exceptions may be granted where justified.

For more details, see the Marketplace Security Enforcement Policy.
