MongoDB Integration Connection Guide
Transcend maintains an integration for MongoDB databases that supports Structured Discovery and DSR Automation functionality, allowing you to:
- Scan your database to identify datapoints that contain personal information
- Programmatically classify the data category and storage purpose of datapoints
- Define and execute DSRs directly against your database
The first step to connecting a MongoDB database to Transcend is to add a MongoDB integration.

The database is connected with a URI connection string in the standard connection string format. If you are using MongoDB Atlas, you can use the instructions here to get a connection string. Alternatively, you can manually construct a connection string using this format.
Enter the connection string into the Integration Connection Form in Transcend and select Connect.
