MongoDB is built with security in mind, and MongoDB Atlas, the developer data platform by MongoDB, offers all the latest security features you would expect from any other database.
Security is the top priority at MongoDB. That is why many security features are included in the MongoDB database and the Atlas developer data platform. These features help you and your team ensure that all of your data is stored safely and securely.
Amongst other things, MongoDB offers authentication, authorization and encryption to help you secure your MongoDB deployments.

In addition to these authorization and authentication features, MongoDB offers a myriad of security enhancements, such as:
MongoDB was also independently audited for security, and is compliant with most major standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO27001.
MongoDB Atlas, the cloud developer data platform by MongoDB, makes it easier than ever to keep your data secure. In addition to the authentication, authorization and encryption features discussed, it offers advanced security features.
