Subscribe to Atlassian Guard Premium

Guard Detect is part of your Atlassian Guard Premium subscription.

To subscribe to Atlassian Guard Premium:

  2. Select Security.

  3. Select Start free trial, and then choose Atlassian Guard Premium.

  4. Select the site to connect Guard Detect to. We detect and generate alerts for your entire organization, not just this site. We recommend you choose your main site, and not a test site.

Once you’re ready to start using Guard Detect, find out how to view alerts or set up some integrations.

To access Guard Detect:

  • Select Guard Detect in the app switcher, or

  • Select Guard Detect in the products list in Atlassian Administration.

Which site should I connect Guard Detect to?

When you add Guard Detect to your organization we ask you to choose a site. This is mainly to determine the product URL used to access Guard Detect, and to identify it in places like the products list or app switcher. Alerts are generated for all eligible instances, not just for the site selected.

We recommend you choose your main site, and not a test site, as it’s not easy to change the site after creation.

If you’re trialling Atlassian Guard Premium, and don’t want to generate alerts from your production instances, you’ll need to use a separate test organization.

Can I test Guard Detect on a non-production site?

Many organizations want to test a product before using it in production. Because Guard Detect runs across your entire organization, it can’t be limited to a test site or sandbox.

If you don’t want alerts to be generated for your production data, you will need to use a test organization.
