## About

Project management platform for teams to plan, organize, and track work together

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. Community testing in February 2026 found the marketing site loads but the core application is blocked with a trade-compliance message. A community volunteer contacted the company in February 2026, which first said Syria remained embargoed, then escalated the case; by March 2026 the company confirmed its legal and compliance team is actively reviewing the updated sanctions landscape. No resolution yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-05 — Under Company Review. Asana's support team provided a substantive update confirming that the legal and compliance team is actively reviewing the updated regulatory landscape regarding U.S. sanctions on Syria. The response acknowledged the significance of the recent sanctions changes and stated that any policy updates would be reflected on Asana's public-facing documentation. The tone indicated genuine active engagement and internal review, not a generic acknowledgment.
- 2026-02-20 — Company Responded. Asana's support team provided a second response, this time from a new representative. She confirmed that the request has been escalated to the relevant team and that she will follow up with an update. This marks a handoff from the initial support representative (who had escalated it within the department on Feb 17) to a new agent actively tracking the case.
- 2026-02-17 — Under Company Review. Asana's support team responded to the follow-up, acknowledging the documentation provided about the sanctions lift. The representative confirmed the request has been escalated to another department for further review and consideration.
- 2026-02-17 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer sent a direct email to Asana's executive leadership, requesting attention on restoring access for Syrian users. The email highlighted the recent OFAC and EU sanctions lift and asked for a formal compliance review.
- 2026-02-16 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer sent a follow-up reply to Asana support challenging the embargo claim, citing the OFAC General License and EU sanctions lift. The volunteer shared links to official U.S. Treasury and EU documentation, as well as the UnblockSyria platform as evidence that major companies like Meta, GitHub, and Steam have already restored access.
- 2026-02-16 — Company Responded. Asana's support team responded to the access request, stating that Syria remains on Asana's embargoed countries list and that the company cannot provide access or services to users in Syria at this time.
- 2026-02-16 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer contacted Asana's support team requesting restoration of access for users in Syria. The inquiry was assigned a case number and referenced the recent lifting of U.S. and EU sanctions on Syria.
- 2026-02-16 — Verified. Multiple community members verified that Asana is partially accessible in Syria. The marketing website at asana.com loads fully (landing page, navigation, account creation flow). However, the core application at app.asana.com is blocked with the message: "Asana isn't available in your location. Due to global trade compliance laws, Asana isn't available where you are." This was confirmed on both desktop (Firefox, ADSL) and mobile (Chrome, MTN 4G+). Status corrected from accessible to limited — the landing page works but the actual project management application remains blocked.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
