MongoDB Atlas
May 24, 2026
Connect MongoDB Atlas to collect database security configuration and access control evidence for your compliance frameworks.
What is MongoDB Atlas?
MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service. If your application stores data in Atlas, this integration gives Imara visibility into your database security configurations — a common requirement in SOC 2 and other compliance audits.
What Imara collects from MongoDB Atlas
- Organization and project members with their roles
- Database user configurations and access scopes
- Network access settings — IP allowlist and VPC peering configurations
- Encryption-at-rest status
- Audit log configuration
Required permissions
Imara connects via a MongoDB Atlas API Key with the Organization Read Only role. Create the key in Atlas → Access Manager → API Keys. Only read access is required.
How to connect
- In Atlas, go to Access Manager → API Keys and create a key with Organization Read Only role.
- Add Imara's IP address to the API key access list when prompted (Imara will display the address during setup).
- In Imara, go to Integrations and select MongoDB Atlas.
- Enter your Public Key and Private Key, then click Connect.
Frameworks supported
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA.
What to expect
Imara maps Atlas security configurations to data protection and access control controls. Common alerts include overly permissive network access settings or encryption not enabled.
