How does Atlassian Guard licensing work?
Atlassian Guard is one subscription for your whole Atlassian Cloud organization, licensed per unique user, monthly or annually. Each person counts once, however many apps or sites they use. Guard Standard covers single sign-on, provisioning and authentication policies. Guard Premium is an add-on for data classification and threat detection, for every Jira and Confluence user.
New to Guard? Our Atlassian Guard guide explains each feature in more detail.
Do you already have Atlassian Guard?
Maybe. Cloud Enterprise plans, Loom Enterprise, and Teamwork Collection Premium and Enterprise include Guard Standard, but only for the users on those plans. People on your other plans, like Bitbucket Standard, still need it. Guard Premium is never included. Pick the plans you pay for to see where you stand, and we’ll confirm it in your quote.
Which of these do you pay for today?
Pick the plans you pay for to see whether Guard Standard is already included.
Based on Atlassian's Guard terms as of October 2026 (Atlassian). Included Guard Standard covers only the users on those plans.
What can your admins do with Atlassian Guard?
Guard gives admins one place to secure every Atlassian Cloud app. Guard Standard connects your identity provider for single sign-on and user provisioning, and sets authentication policies for employees and external users. Guard Premium adds data classification, threat detection and content scanning, so sensitive work stays where it belongs.

Which Atlassian Guard plan do you need?
Guard Standard fits most organizations: single sign-on, user provisioning from your identity provider, enforced two-step verification, external user policies and the organization audit log. Choose Guard Premium if you also need to classify sensitive data, detect unusual activity, scan content for secrets or send alerts to your SIEM.
What do you need?
For 50 users, start with Guard Standard. Guard Standard covers single sign-on, user provisioning, authentication policies and the audit log across your Atlassian Cloud apps. Pick what you need to see whether Premium fits better.

Atlassian Guard licensing, explained.
Is buying Guard through a partner more expensive?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from Atlassian, or less. Atlassian rewards partners for the services we provide, so you don't pay extra for our help.
Do we need Guard for single sign-on?
To enforce it, yes. Enforced SAML single sign-on and two-step verification for your managed accounts need Guard Standard, unless your plans already include it.
Can we license Guard for only some users?
Guard covers your whole organization. You can put some users in a non-billable authentication policy, but they don't get single sign-on or enforced two-step verification, and Guard Premium still counts every Jira and Confluence user.
Do JSM portal customers count toward Guard?
No. Customers who only use your Jira Service Management help center don't count toward Guard Standard, and neither do deactivated users.
Is there a trial?
Yes. An organization admin can start a 30-day trial of Guard. We can help you set it up and quote the subscription when you're ready.
What happened to Atlassian Access?
Atlassian renamed Atlassian Access to Atlassian Guard in 2024 and added Guard Premium for data security and threat detection.
Can you help us set up Guard?
Yes. Our Virtual Admin service gives you Atlassian experts for identity providers, user provisioning and authentication policies, on your schedule.
