Checklist Summary:

The MongoDB Enterprise Advanced 7.x Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is published as a tool to improve the security of Department of Defense (DOD) information systems. This document is meant to be used in conjunction with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (OS) STIG, Network STIGs, and other STIGs as applicable to the database host environment. It is based on the Database Security Requirements Guide (SRG) Version 3, Release 3, which in turn derives its cybersecurity controls from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Revision 4. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced (EA) is the commercial self-managed edition of MongoDB’s scalable, general-purpose document database and is compatible with various platforms, including physical, virtual, and containerized environments. The database stores data in flexible JSON-like documents, allowing for dynamic fields that can vary from document to document. MongoDB EA is designed for scalability and high performance, making it ideal for handling large volumes of data with its distributed, horizontal scale-out architecture. MongoDB EA includes advanced security features, such as authentication, access control, and encryption, to protect sensitive data. This STIG requires that the product be deployed on a FIPS-compliant cryptography enabled operating system found in the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/validated-modules), or by other means ensure that FIPS 140-2/140-3-certified OpenSSL libraries are used by the DBMS.
