MongoDB offers built-in security controls for all your data – with databases
managed in a customer environment or MongoDB Atlas, a fully managed cloud
service. MongoDB enables enterprise-grade security features and simplifies
deploying and managing your databases.

MONGODB SECURITY

Database with built-in security controls and enterprise-grade security features


AUTHENTICATION

Authenticate to Atlas UI with your Atlas credentials or single sign-on with your
GitHub or Google accounts. Atlas also supports multi-factor authentication (MFA)
with various options, including OTP authenticators, push notifications, FIDO2
(hardware security keys or biometrics), SMS, and e-mail.

Authenticate to MongoDB database using mechanisms including SCRAM, x.509
certificates, LDAP, OIDC, and passwordless authentication with AWS-IAM.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AUTHORIZATION

Atlas provides Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage all cloud resources,
including MongoDB deployments. In Atlas, a user can be granted one or more roles
that determine the user's access privilege to an Atlas Organization and a
Project. A user can also be granted fine-grained database roles for database
operations. With identity federation, you can manage access to Atlas via your
identity provider groups and Atlas roles using group-role mappings.



MongoDB database has an extensive RBAC for performing specific actions on
database(s) and collection(s).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AUDITING

MongoDB offers granular auditing that monitors actions in your MongoDB
environment and is designed to prevent and detect any unauthorized access to
data, including create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations, encryption
key management, authentication, and role-based access controls, replication, and
sharding cluster operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DATA ENCRYPTION

MongoDB data encryption offers robust features to protect your data while
in-transit (network), at-rest (storage), and in-use (memory, logs). Customers
can use automatic encryption of key data fields like PII, PHI, or any data
deemed sensitive — ensuring data is encrypted throughout its lifecycle.

Learn more



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NETWORK SECURITY

Atlas offers many options to securely access your data with dedicated clusters
deployed in a unique Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to isolate your data and
prevent inbound network access from the internet.



Allow just a one-way connection from your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud VPC/VNet
to Atlas Clusters via Private Endpoints. You can enable peering between your
MongoDB Atlas VPC or VNet to your own dedicated application tier virtual private
network with the cloud provider of your choice or enable only specific network
segments to connect to your Atlas clusters via IP Access list.

Learn more



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DATA SOVEREIGNTY

Atlas databases are available in 100+ regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and
Azure. Store your data across any of the regions. Take advantage of multi-cloud
and multi-region deployments, allowing you to target the providers and regions
that best serve your users. Zoned sharding is available to Atlas customers as
part of the fully managed cloud service to support location-aware storage and
database operations for globally distributed application instances and clients.
