StrongDM is an American technology company that develops an infrastructure access platform.
StrongDM was founded in 2015 by Elizabeth Zalman, Justin McCarthy, and Schuyler Brown. The company was one of the first female led startups backed by Hearst's initiative to invest in women led startups. [1] The company received an early investment of $250,000 from HearstLabs. [2]
In 2018, the company released free open source software called Comply which allows smaller organizations to implement SOC 2 in an open source environment. Any organization can download a pre-authored library of 24 policies, edit directly in markdown, track versions with Github, assign compliance tasks through Jira and monitor progress in a unified dashboard. [3]
Elizabeth Zalman continued as CEO [4] until 2021 when Tim Prendergast was appointed new CEO.[ citation needed]
As of 2023, the company had received investments from investors such as Bloomberg Beta and Tiger Global. [5] [6] [7] Douglas Leone joined the board as part of an investment by Sequoia Capital. [8]
The software is a privileged access manager for aggregating secure access and permissions. [9] [10] It centralizes backend infrastructure access for legacy or multi-cloud environments. The software also integrates with identity providers, secret stores, and SIEM tools. [11] [12]
The platform provides and manages user access to backend infrastructure like serves and databases, [13] [14] and logs user actions in video replay. [15] [16]
Similar software is produced by CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust, Teleport and Perimeter 81. [17] [18]
StrongDM has contributed a native port of the Cedar Policy Language to the Go language. This implementation of Cedar in Go simplifies tasks for Go developers to integrate strong authorization features into their applications. As opposed to language wrappers, this native implementation of Go using the Cedar Policy Language results in performance benefits, reliability, and better usability. [19]
Founding CEO, Elizabeth Zalman is one of the first woman CEOs in Silicon Valley to successfully raise over $100M in venture capital. [20] She successfully raised over $76M as CEO of StrongDM.
