When you install a Jira app, you hand it access to the system your whole delivery organization runs on. So the real question isn’t only “does it do the job?” — it’s “can I trust it with our data?” Atlassian built an answer to that question directly into its Marketplace, in the form of trust signals: independent badges an app earns for security, reliability, and legal clarity.
Here’s the part most teams never notice. Atlassian’s Marketplace lists thousands of apps. Its curated collection for AI-powered apps — “Explore apps for collaborative intelligence” — holds 106. Switch on five of those trust signals at once — Runs on Atlassian, Cloud Fortified, Bug Bounty, Partner Trust Center and Standard Legal Agreement — and that list collapses to just seven apps.
Our app, Time in Status, Cycle Time & Lead Time Reports — Rovo AI, is one of those seven — the only one named for the Rovo AI it’s built around.
What the trust signals actually mean
These aren’t marketing labels a vendor can self-apply. Each one is awarded by Atlassian against a defined bar. The shortlist above requires all five at the same time:
- Runs on Atlassian — the app is built on Atlassian Forge and runs entirely inside Atlassian’s cloud. Your data never leaves the Atlassian trust boundary to sit on a third-party server.
- Cloud Fortified — Atlassian’s highest tier for app quality, covering security, reliability, and support. Apps must meet ongoing requirements, not a one-time check.
- Bug Bounty — the partner runs a continuous, independent security-testing program through the Marketplace Bug Bounty, so vulnerabilities are actively hunted and fixed.
- Partner Trust Center — the partner publishes its security and compliance posture in a public trust center, so buyers can verify rather than take claims on faith.
- Standard Legal Agreement — the app ships under Atlassian’s standardized, pre-vetted EULA and data-processing terms, so procurement and legal don’t have to negotiate bespoke contracts.
Any one of these is a good sign. Carrying all five means an app clears the security, reliability, transparency, and legal bars simultaneously — the combination enterprise buyers and Atlassian admins actually screen for.
Atlassian lists other trust signals too — formal certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001 and independent penetration testing — that vendors add as they mature. These five are the trust foundation, not the whole universe; clearing them all at once is already rare.
Why only seven apps clear the bar
Most apps earn one or two of these badges. Picking up all five is hard for a structural reason: the signals pull in different directions. “Runs on Atlassian” demands a Forge-native architecture, which many older apps built on external infrastructure can’t claim without a rebuild. “Cloud Fortified” demands sustained operational maturity. “Bug Bounty” and “Partner Trust Center” demand a real, funded security program and the willingness to publish it. “Standard Legal Agreement” demands a partner confident enough to forgo custom contract terms.
It’s the difference between a single safety feature and a car that earns top marks in every crash test at once. The seven apps that make the collaborative-intelligence shortlist aren’t there by accident — they’re a roster of teams that decided trust was a product requirement, not an afterthought. Alongside our app sit established bestsellers from partners like SaaSJet, Deviniti, and Appsvio.
The other half of the story: collaborative intelligence
The collection these seven apps belong to isn’t about trust alone — it’s about human-AI collaboration. That’s where our app earns its place from the other direction.
Time in Status, Cycle Time & Lead Time Reports — Rovo AI turns raw Jira data into the delivery metrics agile teams rely on, with no configuration required:
- Six flow metrics, zero setup — Time in Status, Cycle Time, Lead Time, Throughput, Work Type Distribution, and System Stability, on an interactive project board and in fully configurable dashboard gadgets.
- Built-in Atlassian Rovo AI — the moment a chart loads, the Rovo agent reads it and explains the trends, anomalies, and bottlenecks in plain language. You don’t go hunting for the insight; the insight comes to you.
- Works the way your team works — across Jira Software and Jira Service Management, with any workflow. Measure from any start status to any end status, filter by project, board, saved filter, user, or JQL, break down by epic, label, or fix version, and export any view to CSV.
This is what “collaborative intelligence” looks like in practice: a human-readable analysis sitting next to every chart, generated by AI that runs inside your own Atlassian environment. The trust signals are exactly what make that safe — the same Rovo-powered analysis that reads your flow data is doing it read-only, inside Atlassian’s boundary, under a published security program.
Why this matters when you’re choosing a Jira app
The next time you’re evaluating an app — for flow metrics or anything else — the trust filters in the Marketplace sidebar are one of the fastest ways to shorten your shortlist. Turn them on and watch hundreds of options become a handful. The apps that survive that filter have already passed the screen your security and procurement teams would run anyway.
For AI-powered Jira reporting specifically, that handful is seven apps. Ours is one of them — pairing all five of those trust signals with a built-in Rovo agent that does the analysis for you.
