Case Study: Yext achieves faster SOC 2 audit readiness and access provisioning with StrongDM

Yext Reduced the Time to Provision User Access From Days to Minutes With strongDM

Yext, a company that powers location data for major brands, needed to achieve SOC 2 compliance quickly as part of its IPO process. With 250+ databases across multiple types and versions, Yext faced a demanding audit-readiness challenge and could not afford delays in securing and tracking access across its infrastructure.

StrongDM provided Yext with an infrastructure access platform that centralized control, logged every query and permission change without infrastructure changes, and streamlined technical onboarding and offboarding. With StrongDM, Yext rolled out access management to hundreds of staff in three weeks, cut provisioning time from 48 hours to 30 minutes, and reduced the effort and cost of completing its first SOC 2 audit, contributing to an estimated $3M+ in savings.
