Varonis extends its leading database classification and security capabilities to MongoDB, providing in-depth visibility into joint customers’ data landscapes. This integration helps ensure that critical data — including PII, PCI, PHI, and more — is properly identified, stored, and secured in MongoDB.
Data is a hacker's primary target, so it's crucial to have complete visibility into all data stored in MongoDB, including its sensitivity. This insight is essential for securing data, preventing breaches, and maintaining compliance.
In this blog, we’ll cover how Varonis integrates and partners with MongoDB to provide a powerful modern database security and management solution.
Gain deep visibility into MongoDB data.
Varonis provides a robust solution for discovering and classifying sensitive data within MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas environments. Using advanced data classification techniques, Varonis helps organizations automatically pinpoint the location of their most sensitive data and identify potential exposure risks.
Through this integration, Varonis provides metadata syncs and classification of MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas database instances hosted on virtually any infrastructure.
Varonis provides a proprietary Private Cloud Data Collector that customers deploy within their cloud environments, ensuring sensitive data remains secure and isn’t exposed through open networks. Customers can easily implement this on virtually any cloud infrastructure with a few simple steps — all it requires is:
- A Kubernetes cluster
- Database credentials
- Server address or hostname
- A port
When integrating Varonis with MongoDB, admins can configure the scope of the classification scans to include all database instances or restrict classification scans to specific collections. This flexibility helps save on cloud resource costs and optimize scan speed and processing power.
After integrating with MongoDB, Varonis scans documents in each scoped collection and generates results for review, which are then sent to the customer's Varonis tenant.

Identify where sensitive data is concentrated.
After Varonis completes its scans, customers can view the classification results in an intuitive tree format. This provides a visualization of databases, collections, and sensitive data at the field level.

Click on each database resource in the tree view to identify the specific types of sensitive data stored within, such as PII, PCI, PHI, financial data, and more. This enables admins to spot sensitive data that may be misplaced or at risk of violating compliance requirements.
Varonis offers both out-of-the-box and customizable compliance reports, allowing organizations to export classification results to demonstrate adherence to regulators and compliance officers.
