The MongoDB Enterprise edition provides authentication, authorization, auditing, and encryption capabilities to ensure compliance with regulations such as HIPAA. By integrating with identity management systems like Active Directory, MongoDB Enterprise ensures secure user authentication. The database provides fine-grained privileges that can be combined to define user roles, controlling access to sensitive data. Auditing is performed through the use of an audit log, which provides a history of all changes made to security settings. Encryption at rest and in transit is supported, with securely managed encryption keys being essential for its effectiveness. MongoDB Enterprise supports various encryption approaches, including SSL, database-native encryption, and third-party solutions, ensuring that data cannot be accessed outside the database.
