The read-only MongoDB Atlas for Government integration syncs user and cluster data to automate multiple tests and ensure your databases are set up securely. By connecting your account, Vanta can monitor your database configurations and help you remain compliant.
Please note: This article specifically covers the MongoDB Atlas for Government integration. The administrative interface and endpoints are separate from the standard commercial MongoDB Atlas interface.

Troubleshooting Connection Scope
After connecting your environment, your Multi-Cloud Cluster Database may not appear within the Connection Scope.
Vanta is currently unable to retrieve these resources from MongoDB Atlas for Government via the Get all clusters API endpoint. While we work to support this endpoint, you can satisfy test requirements by providing manual evidence.
Vanta accepts manual evidence via document upload
You can upload a screenshot or report of your Multi-Cloud Cluster alert settings and backups to the relevant test.
