Why Go Beyond Native MongoDB Security
- MongoDB includes essential security like authentication, role-based access control, encrypted communications, and auditing, providing a solid security foundation for modern applications.
- Advanced encryption, centralized key management, and granular access controls build on MongoDB’s native capabilities to strengthen data protection and help meet strict regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
11 data breaches per day
Over 4,100 publicly disclosed data breaches in 2024. That’s 11 per day!*
*Breachsense, 2025
Unstructured Data Exposure
Logs, reports, and file-system data often fall outside native protection
Compliance and Legal Risks
Meeting strict regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) requires stronger controls than native features alone
SQL Injection Threats
Attackers can skip MongoDB controls and access data directly on servers or storage
Insider & Privileged Access Risk
Admins or stolen credentials can expose large volumes of sensitive data
Fragmented Key Management
Disconnected or app-level key handling increases operational risk and complexity
MongoDB Database Security Requirements to Consider
