Compliance Reports Enterprise

Automated compliance reporting helps your organization demonstrate adherence to regulatory frameworks including SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.

Overview

MongoDash generates comprehensive compliance reports by analyzing:

• Audit log data
• Security configurations
• Access control policies
• Data retention settings
• Encryption status
• User activity patterns

Supported Frameworks

SOC 2 Type II

System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) reports cover five trust service principles:

• Security - Protection against unauthorized access
• Availability - System uptime and operational performance
• Processing Integrity - Accurate and timely processing
• Confidentiality - Protection of confidential information
• Privacy - Collection, use, retention, and disposal of personal information

MongoDash provides evidence for:

• Access control implementation (CC6.1, CC6.2, CC6.3)
• Logical and physical access controls (CC6.6, CC6.7)
• System monitoring (CC7.2)
• Change management (CC8.1)

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

Reports demonstrate compliance with:

• Article 30: Records of processing activities
• Article 32: Security of processing
• Article 33: Breach notification
• Article 15-17: Data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure)

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)

Evidence for HIPAA Security Rule requirements:

• 164.308(a)(1): Security management process
• 164.308(a)(3): Workforce security
• 164.308(a)(4): Information access management
• 164.312(a)(1): Access control
• 164.312(b): Audit controls
• 164.312(d): Person or entity authentication

PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance:

• Requirement 8: Identify and authenticate access
• Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources
• Requirement 11: Regularly test security systems

Custom Report Templates

Creating Custom Templates

Tailor reports to your organization's specific requirements:

1. Start with a framework template - Use SOC 2, GDPR, or HIPAA as a base
2. Add custom controls - Include organization-specific requirements
3. Configure sections - Choose which evidence types to include
4. Customize branding - Add logos, headers, and footers
5. Define mappings - Map MongoDash controls to your internal control framework

Template Example

template:
  name: "Custom SOC 2 + Internal Controls"
  based_on: "SOC2-TypeII"
 
  sections:
    - executive_summary
    - scope_and_methodology
    - control_environment
    - detailed_evidence
    - gap_analysis
    - remediation_plan
 
  custom_controls:
    - id: "INT-001"
      category: "Data Classification"
      description: "Verify data classification labels applied to collections"
      evidence_sources:
        - collection_metadata

    header_text: "Company Name - Internal Audit Report"
    footer_text: "Confidential - For Internal Use Only"
    primary_color: "#1a73e8"

Gap Analysis and Remediation

Identifying Gaps

Reports automatically identify compliance gaps:

• Configuration Gaps: Required security settings not enabled
• Process Gaps: Insufficient audit trail or documentation
• Coverage Gaps: Areas without adequate monitoring
• Policy Gaps: Missing or outdated security policies

Remediation Tracking

Example Gap and Remediation

{
  "gap": {
    "id": "GAP-2024-001",
    "control": "GDPR-Article-32",
    "severity": "medium",
    "description": "Audit log retention period (90 days) may be insufficient for some data breach investigations",
    "detected": "2024-02-24T10:00:00Z"
  },
  "remediation": {
    "action": "Extend audit log retention to 1 year",
    "assigned_to": "security-team@company.com",
    "due_date": "2024-03-15",
    "status": "in_progress",
    "steps": [
      "Review regulatory retention requirements",
      "Evaluate storage costs for extended retention",
      "Update retention policy in MongoDash",
      "Document change in compliance procedures"
    ]
  }
}

Evidence Collection

Supporting Documentation

Attach additional evidence to strengthen reports:

• Policies and Procedures: Upload security policies, incident response plans
• Training Records: Document user security training completion
• Penetration Test Results: Include external security assessments
• Vendor Certifications: Attach AWS, MongoDB Atlas SOC 2 reports
• Risk Assessments: Include organizational risk assessment documentation

Evidence Repository

Store all compliance documentation in the integrated evidence repository:

1. Navigate to Audit & Compliance > Evidence Repository
2. Upload documents organized by framework and control
3. Tag evidence with relevant controls and reporting periods
4. Link evidence to compliance reports automatically

Auditor Access

Granting Auditor Permissions

Provide read-only access to external auditors:

Audit Trail for Auditors

All auditor access is logged:

Best Practices

Continuous Compliance

1. Generate reports regularly - Don't wait until audit season
2. Review gaps promptly - Address compliance issues as they're identified
3. Maintain documentation - Keep evidence current and organized
4. Train your team - Ensure everyone understands compliance requirements

Audit Preparation

1. Run preliminary reports - Generate draft reports 30 days before audit
2. Address gaps early - Fix issues before auditors arrive
3. Organize evidence - Prepare supporting documentation in advance
4. Test auditor access - Verify guest access works correctly

Documentation Standards

1. Version control - Track changes to policies and procedures
2. Change logging - Document why security configurations changed
3. Review schedules - Establish regular review cycles for policies
4. Approval workflows - Maintain records of policy approvals
