Data discovery and DSR automation in MongoDB

Overview

Transcend maintains an integration for MongoDB databases that supports Structured Discovery and DSR Automation functionality, allowing you to:

  • Scan your database to identify datapoint that contain personal information
  • Programmatically classify the data category and storage purpose of datapoints
  • Define and execute DSRs directly against your database

Connecting a MongoDB Database

The first step to connecting a MongoDB database to Transcend is to add a MongoDB integration.

Add the MongoDB integration to Transcend

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.
