Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for MongoDB

MongoDB (mongodb.com) is a publicly traded, globally recognized database platform with a 17-year domain history and a clean real-time threat posture across 94 security engines.

Area Requiring Attention

However, the vendor carries a moderate risk profile driven primarily by documented historical security incidents, including a confirmed breach disclosed in December 2023 and ongoing ransomware campaigns targeting exposed MongoDB deployments. The public-facing website exhibits HTTP security header deficiencies and a failing HTTP security scanner grade, and a FedRAMP certification claim on the vendor's trust page could not be independently verified through the FedRAMP Marketplace registry. While none of these findings indicate active malicious activity, the combination of past breach history and unverified compliance posture warrants conditional engagement with specific validation requirements.

Independence Statement

All evidence in this report was independently sourced from external data providers and public registries without vendor participation or input.

Steps to address findings for MongoDB

  1. 1

    Verify FedRAMP authorization independently: Search the FedRAMP Marketplace at marketplace.fedramp.gov for 'MongoDB Atlas for Government' to confirm or refute the vendor-attested FedRAMP Moderate claim before any government or regulated-environment deployment.

  2. 2

    Obtain MongoDB's current SOC 2 Type II report: Contact MongoDB's security team directly or visit trust.mongodb.com to request the latest SOC 2 Type II report. Review the audit period, scope, and any noted exceptions before extending medium data access.

  3. 3

    Review the December 2023 breach remediation: Request MongoDB's post-incident summary for the December 2023 account data exposure — specifically what controls were improved, whether affected customers were notified, and what monitoring is now in place.

  4. 4

    Conduct a manual sanctions screen: Given that automated sanctions screening was unavailable during this assessment, manually verify MongoDB Inc. against OFAC's SDN list at sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov and the EU consolidated sanctions list before finalizing vendor approval.

  5. 5

    Confirm Atlas security configuration: Before deploying, review MongoDB's security checklist at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/security-checklist/ and validate that your Atlas environment enforces IP allowlisting, authentication, and encryption at rest — particularly given the pattern of ransomware targeting exposed MongoDB instances.

Data Coverage Notes

Some data sources may have had limited availability during this assessment. This does not reflect negatively on the vendor.

  • Sanctions and watchlist screening was unavailable during this assessment due to a data source outage. Manual verification against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists is recommended before finalizing vendor approval.
  • Deep SSL/TLS cipher and protocol analysis was not available during this assessment. The domain holds a valid TLS certificate (Let's Encrypt, expiring May 2026) confirmed through other sources, but a full cipher suite evaluation could not be completed.
  • The vendor's subprocessor page at trust.mongodb.com was located but no structured subprocessor entries could be extracted, likely due to a non-standard page format. Supply chain risk at the subprocessor level could not be assessed from available data.
  • Adverse media findings include articles referencing both the MongoDB software product and third-party ransomware campaigns against misconfigured MongoDB deployments broadly. It was not always possible to distinguish between incidents involving MongoDB Inc.'s own infrastructure and incidents involving customer-operated MongoDB instances.

The questionnaire is mapped to SIG, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and 9 other frameworks — answered without sending MongoDB a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is MongoDB safe to use as a vendor?+
MongoDB is a data vendor that handles organizational and customer data. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire. Run a free investigation to see MongoDB's full risk profile.
Does MongoDB have SOC 2 certification?+
No SOC 2 found. MongoDB rated Moderate Risk — significant adverse media. See all 7 findings →
Has MongoDB had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly data platforms like MongoDB that handle organizational and customer data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is MongoDB on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for data vendors. ThirdProof screens MongoDB against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If MongoDB or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess MongoDB for vendor risk?+
Assessing MongoDB as a data vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and data processing agreements compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure. ThirdProof automates this across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — no questionnaires or vendor participation required. Your first 5 investigations are free.
How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+
A ThirdProof assessment completes in an average of 7 minutes. 27 intelligence sources are queried in parallel — sanctions databases, business registries, threat intelligence feeds, certificate transparency logs, and more. The result is a deterministic risk tier with confidence score and audit-ready PDF report.
Is ThirdProof free?+
ThirdProof offers 5 free vendor assessments with no credit card required. Each assessment includes the full report — risk tier, confidence score, individual findings, executive summary, and PDF export. Paid plans start at $399/month for teams that need ongoing vendor monitoring.
Can I use a ThirdProof report as SOC 2 audit evidence?+
Yes. ThirdProof reports are designed to satisfy SOC 2 CC9.2 (vendor risk management) requirements. Each report includes SHA-256 integrity verification, methodology disclosure, source attribution for every finding, and AI content labeling. Auditors can independently verify the report's authenticity and trace each finding to its original source.
How is ThirdProof different from a security questionnaire?+
Security questionnaires require vendor participation, take weeks, and produce self-reported answers. ThirdProof queries 27 independent intelligence sources — no vendor involvement needed. Risk tiers are assigned by a deterministic rules engine (not AI opinion), and every finding links to its original source. You get an audit-ready report in an average of 7 minutes instead of waiting weeks for a questionnaire response.

MongoDB is in your vendor stack. Can you prove you assessed them?

SOC 2 CC9.2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC all require documented vendor due diligence — not just knowing the answer, but having audit-ready evidence you verified it. Most compliance teams can't produce that documentation on demand.

ThirdProof investigates MongoDB across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — sanctions screening, cyber posture, SOC 2 verification, FedRAMP status, and more. Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
