Hi  planning to buy Jira an prefer to get the SaaS/Cloud version, but due to the sensitive nature of the business, it needs to be hosted in the United Arab Emirates Data Centre.

please advise if this is possible?  

Thanks

Hello @Mark Sinclair 

We have recently published the app Confidential Fields with Data Residency for Jira.
With it, you can create custom fields for sensitive data and assign the desired permission per field.

It also offers the possibility to set a data residency for the data of these Confidential Fields. Among the countries offered by Atlassian, we offer currently Switzerland.
If there is enough interest, other locations will be added. We are also working on the possibility for customers to connect their own databases or to specify them as a residency.

In the documentation, you will find more information about how the app works, how your data is protected, and current limitations.

Best regards,
Mattia

Hi Mark - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

That's not going to be possible. Here's an article with more info, but it is very limited where Jira data can reside.
