Syncing User Data

Until this Terraform is applied, your Vanta account will not receive any information from your Sym account. If the resource is destroyed, the syncing will stop.

1. Add this Terraform resource to your Terraform configuration

resource "sym_integration" "vanta" {
    type = "vanta"
    name = "${local.environment}-vanta"

    # Fill in your company's name in Vanta here. It is located as the last item of the sidebar in app.vanta.com.
    external_id = "CHANGEME"
}

2. Replace the external_id in the Terraform resource with your Vanta Account Name

The external ID is your company's name in Vanta. You can find it located as the last item of the sidebar in your Vanta portal.

3. Run terraform apply
