Monitor MongoDB Atlas compliance pages

Managed MongoDB cloud database — clusters on AWS/Azure/GCP, Atlas Search, Atlas Vector Search, Atlas Stream Processing, and Atlas App Services.

MongoDB Atlas publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using MongoDB Atlas as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
