0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

MongoDB, Inc. is a leading provider of modern, flexible, and AI-ready database solutions designed to help developers and enterprises build scalable applications. Positioned as a market leader in cloud database management systems, MongoDB offers a comprehensive suite of services including MongoDB Atlas, self-managed enterprise solutions, and developer tools. The company targets a broad audience ranging from startups and AI innovators to large enterprises across various sectors such as technology, financial services, healthcare, retail, automotive, and telecommunications. Their business model combines SaaS offerings with self-managed deployments, emphasizing flexibility and performance. Technically, MongoDB's website leverages modern web technologies including Next.js and React, hosted on AWS CloudFront CDN, and managed via Contentstack CMS. The site demonstrates fast performance, good mobile optimization, and strong SEO practices. Security-wise, MongoDB employs a valid SSL certificate but currently lacks modern TLS protocol support and HSTS enforcement, which are recommended for enhanced security. The site includes comprehensive legal and security policies, including a vulnerability disclosure policy, but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. Overall, MongoDB maintains a strong security posture with no detected vulnerabilities in SSL/TLS configurations and provides clear trust signals through customer case studies and industry recognitions. The company’s digital maturity is high, with a well-structured, professional website that supports its market leadership. Strategic improvements in security protocols and privacy compliance mechanisms would further strengthen their risk management and user trust.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

NIS2 outside view
Not assessed
GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 88 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

    • Medium

      HSTS Not Enabled

      HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is not configured

      What to do: Configure HSTS with: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

MongoDB holds a strong market position as a leader in modern database technology, recognized by Gartner for multiple years. Its competitive advantages include a flexible document data model, multi-cloud deployment capabilities, and integration with AI and vector search technologies. The business model is primarily subscription-based SaaS with additional self-managed options, targeting developers and enterprises. Revenue streams likely include cloud services, enterprise licenses, and professional services. The company has a robust partnership ecosystem with major cloud providers and technology firms. Growth indicators include rapid database migrations to Atlas and significant improvements in customer API performance. MongoDB’s operations emphasize developer empowerment, scalability, and AI readiness, positioning it well for future technology trends.

Security posture

MongoDB demonstrates a mature security posture with valid SSL certificates and no known critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols and HSTS reduces the overall security effectiveness. The company provides a public vulnerability disclosure policy, indicating readiness for incident response, though no explicit security contact emails were found. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy. The lack of DNSSEC and CAA records suggests areas for improvement in domain security. Overall, MongoDB’s security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced protocol configurations and explicit incident response contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to enhance encryption security.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Add DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to improve domain name system security and certificate issuance control.
  4. Introduce a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  5. Publish explicit security incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and response.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Next.js and React, hosted on AWS CloudFront CDN, and managed with Contentstack CMS. It uses optimized fonts and images for performance and supports multiple languages. The site is fast, well-structured, and optimized for SEO and accessibility. However, the SSL/TLS configuration disables all common protocols, which may indicate a misconfiguration or incomplete scan data. The site integrates with Optimizely for A/B testing and analytics. Technical risks include potential SSL/TLS protocol issues and lack of DNSSEC, which could impact security and trust. Overall, the infrastructure is robust and supports a high-quality user experience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
