At a glance
- Is MongoDB GDPR compliant?
- No tool is GDPR compliant on its own: compliance depends on what you process with it and how. What follows is what MongoDB itself publishes, each answer linked to its source and the date we read it.
- Does MongoDB have a data processing agreement (DPA)?
- Yes. MongoDB publishes a data processing agreement at mongodb.com. It gives 30 days' notice before a new subprocessor is added. It promises breach notification "without undue delay", with no number of hours. Source and date
- Which version of the MongoDB DPA is current?
- On 2026-11-09, MongoDB's DPA at mongodb.com printed “Last updated: October 21, 2024.”. Source and date
- Does MongoDB have a SOC 2 report?
- MongoDB says a SOC 2 Type 2 report is available on request. We read this on 2026-10-04. Source and date
- Is MongoDB ISO 27001 certified?
- MongoDB states ISO/IEC 27001 certification (2022 edition, as MongoDB names it), and says the certificate or audit report is available on request. We read this on 2026-10-04. Source and date
- Where is MongoDB's trust center?
- MongoDB publishes a page it calls “Trust Portal” at trust.mongodb.com. Some of its documents sit behind a request or sign-in: the page says “Get Access”. The page mentions SOC 2, ISO 27001, a penetration test, subprocessors and security questionnaires. We read it on 2026-11-03. Source and date
- How does MongoDB transfer personal data out of the EU?
- MongoDB's agreement relies on the EU standard contractual clauses, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK transfer addendum. MongoDB, Inc. is on the official Data Privacy Framework List (status: Active). Source and date
- Does MongoDB offer EU data residency?
- The vendor documents an EU region but states nothing about which plan reaches it or what it costs. Source and date

MongoDB data residency
| Region | EU data location | Minimum plan | Source | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EU | Terms not stated | — | mongodb.com | 2026-09-18 |
EU: Reviewed 2026-09-18: recorded as terms-unstated because the page states no price or plan. Atlas clusters select a cloud provider and region at creation, with European regions available on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Note this is the Atlas service; MongoDB's own trust portal, which holds the subprocessor list, remains gated.
The same question for every vendor: where SaaS vendors store EU data.

Processing terms
From the vendor's data processing agreement · read 2026-10-09 · mongodb.com
| Term | What the agreement says |
|---|---|
| Transfer mechanism | EU-U.S. DPF |
| Transfer mechanism | SCC (module not stated) |
| Transfer mechanism | Swiss FADP clauses |
| Transfer mechanism | UK Addendum |
| Transfer mechanism | other |
| Notice of new subprocessors | Prior notice of subprocessor changes (SCC Clause 9(a) Option 2); notice period as set forth in Section 4.1 of the DPA |
| Notice of new subprocessors | at least 30 days before addition or replacement, by updating the subprocessor list web page; optional email notifications on registration |

| Obligations passed to subprocessors | Each Subprocessor is bound by the same data protection obligations as MongoDB has under the DPA |
| Breach notification | without undue delay |
| Deletion when the service ends | On termination of the MongoDB Agreement or on Customer's request, MongoDB deletes any Customer Personal Data the Customer has not deleted, unless legally required to store it |
| Getting your data back | Customer may retrieve all Customer Personal Data upon expiration or termination of the MongoDB Agreement |
| Requests from data subjects | The Cloud Services let Customer retrieve, correct or delete Customer Personal Data so it can respond to data subject requests |
| Audit | SCC Clause 8.9 audit right exercised by instructing the importer to follow the audit measures in Section 8 (Customer Audit Rights) of the DPA |
| Audit | third-party certifications and audits on request; on-site audit only if those are insufficient and only to the extent required by Data Protection Law, at customer's cost, with scope, timing and duration mutually agreed |
| Processing on your instructions | Processes only to provide the Cloud Services, for processing Customer starts, and under the agreement, this DPA and Customer's other reasonable documented instructions; any other processing needs prior written agreement |
| Confidentiality of staff | Personnel and subcontractors with access are under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality |
| Security measures | Appropriate technical and organizational security measures, described in the Technical and Organizational Security Measures page on MongoDB's website |
Terms as the agreement states them. Where it is silent on a term, there is no row; that is not a statement that the vendor does not offer it.

Assurance
Does MongoDB have a SOC 2 report?
MongoDB says a SOC 2 Type 2 report is available on request. We read this on 2026-10-04.
Of the 114 vendors in this registry whose own pages mention SOC 2, 57 say the report is available on request, 1 links to the report itself, and 56 state it without saying how to get it. The type is the one the vendor names.
Is MongoDB ISO 27001 certified?
MongoDB states ISO/IEC 27001 certification (2022 edition, as MongoDB names it), and says the certificate or audit report is available on request. We read this on 2026-10-04.
On the same list MongoDB also names ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018. Each standard's page says how it relates to ISO/IEC 27001.
Of the 122 vendors in this registry whose own pages state ISO/IEC 27001, 16 link to the certificate, 43 say it is available on request, and 63 state it without saying how to get it. A certificate names the certification body, the scope and the expiry date: those are the three things to check.

| VPAT | Claimed | — | trust.mongodb.com | 2026-10-04 |
Claimed means the vendor asserts the scheme on its own page and offers nothing further. Available on request means the report or certificate exists but sits behind a request, a login or an NDA. Neither is a certificate we have seen. That is a distinction an auditor makes, so we make it too.

What the authority publishes, not what the vendor claims. An entry covers the offering it names and nothing else: a FedRAMP authorisation for a government edition says nothing about the commercial service. No entry is not a finding about security - most vendors never apply - and an entry filed under a name not listed above would not have been found.
What an entry on the Data Privacy Framework List covers, and which vendors hold one: EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
