Unicis Cybersecurity Controls for Jira: Enhancing Security Standards
· 12 min read
We are thrilled to announce the integration of new cybersecurity controls for Jira, aimed at elevating the security posture of your organization. In addition to the default Minimum Viable Secure Product (MVSP), we have incorporated the ISO/IEC 27001 standards for both 2013 and the latest 2022 version. Furthermore, we are aligning our controls with the upcoming EU NIS Directive, contributing to a common and converged level of security in network and information systems.
New Security Standards
ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and 2022
We understand the importance of staying ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity. By integrating the ISO/IEC 27001 standards of 2013 and 2022, we ensure that our cybersecurity controls are in line with the latest industry best practices, providing robust protection against emerging threats.

NIS Cooperation Group Security Measures
To address the requirements of the new EU NIS Directive, we have created a comprehensive table mapping the NIS Cooperation Group Security Measures for Operators of Essential Services (OES) with MVSP and ISO/IEC 27001 standards. This table aims to facilitate a common and converged level of security in network and information systems at the EU level.
The table goes on to comprehensively map various security domains, sub-domains, and measures against the MVSP and ISO/IEC standards.
