A pure Forge app · zero external systems
Change governance that lives inside Jira
Auditable change records, real approvals, freeze windows and a tamper-evident audit trail — on the Jira issues your team already works. Nothing to host. Nothing leaves your Atlassian site.
Charged per agent · No plans, tiers or paid extras
Change management fails the same way everywhere
It lives somewhere else
A separate tool means a second record that has to be kept in step by hand — so it isn't. The change ships from Jira and the governance record describes something that didn't happen.
Approvals are theatre
A field somebody types their own name into is not an approval. If the person doing the change can record their own sign-off, the audit finding is already written.
The trail can be edited
A history anyone with admin rights can quietly change is a history nobody can rely on. Evidence has to prove it hasn't been touched, not merely assert it.
Concessa fixes all three by refusing to be a separate system. The Jira issue is the change record. Governance is added on top of it, and the trail is chained so that altering it is detectable.
What you get
The change record
A summary of what is changing, its risk, change type, impacted service and the planned window, on the Jira issue itself. Not a copy of it in another system.
Approvals that mean something
Ask a named agent. Only they can answer, once. Self-approval is refused outright rather than merely flagged.
Freeze windows
Declare a freeze and every change already booked into it is flagged. Approval is blocked until it moves or an administrator overrides — on the record.
A CAB that keeps its own record
Meetings on a cadence, with attendance, an agenda and the actions they raised — above an agenda ordered by what you owe an answer on.
Tamper-evident audit trail
Every action appends a hash-chained entry. Alter one, re-point one, or remove one and verification says so.
Evidence on demand
Export the whole governance record, re-verified from genesis at the moment you take it, in JSON or CSV.
The part your security team cares about
Nothing leaves your Atlassian site
Concessa is a Forge app with no external permissions declared. That is not a policy we promise to keep — it is a property Atlassian enforces. Without an external permission in the app's manifest, the platform refuses an outbound call before it is made.
No external database
Your governance data lives in Forge storage, inside your own Atlassian site, in the region you chose with Atlassian.
No mail transport
Notifications are Jira’s, under your own notification scheme. The app sends no email.
No telemetry
No analytics, no error tracker, no beacon. The app has no way to send anything anywhere.
No vendor access
There is no operator console, no support impersonation and no query path. If we need to see something, you show us.
The part an auditor cares about
A trail you can check, not one you have to believe
Governance evidence is only worth the confidence you can place in it. Every action Concessa records is appended to a per-project hash chain, and every export re-verifies that chain from genesis before it says a word about what happened.

Built for the meeting, not the spreadsheet
Set the cadence once and the board’s meetings appear by themselves, each carrying its attendance, its agenda and the actions it raised. Marking one held seals all three and comments on every change it reviewed.
And an agenda that knows what you owe
Below the meetings, the change agenda puts what needs you at the top, then what is blocked by a freeze, then risk, then whatever is happening soonest.
A freeze that actually holds
Declare a window and every change already scheduled inside it is flagged straight away. Approval is blocked until it is rescheduled — or a project administrator records an override, with a reason, on the audit trail.
Put change governance where the work already happens
Concessa is a pure Forge app, charged per agent. No external systems, no data leaving your site, nothing to host. Access starts with a conversation.
