Please Note: This integration also supports MongoDB Atlas for Government. While the connection process is identical to the commercial version, government users must perform these steps within the MongoDB Atlas for Government console.

The read-only MongoDB Atlas integration syncs user and cluster data to automate multiple tests and ensure your databases are set up securely.

  • The organization owner is required to generate the new API key to ensure correct permissions are inherited

  • Navigate to your MongoDB Atlas account and select the organization that you would like Vanta to monitor. You must be an organization owner to generate a new API key

  • Select Access Manager, followed by Organization Access

  • Click Create API key and create a new key with "Organization Read Only" permissions

  • Click Add Access List Entry and add the IP 34.227.127.165/32

  • Copy the generated values, then navigate to the Integrations page in your Vanta instance and search for 'MongoDB Atlas'

  • Click Connect. Paste the Public Key and Private Key generated to their respective fields when prompted

  • Select Validate and Store

Keep in Mind

  • For Government Users: Ensure you are logged into your Atlas for Government account. The administrative interface is separate from the standard commercial Atlas interface.

  • After connecting your MongoDB Atlas environment to Vanta, Your Multi-Cloud Cluster Database doesn't appear within the Connection Scope.

  • Currently, We're unable to retrieve those resources from MongoDB Atlas via the API Endpoint [Get all clusters]

  • Unfortunately, there is no resolution to this issue at the moment, However you can provide manual evidence via Document upload of your Multi-Cloud Cluster alert settings and backups.
