“We were relying on spreadsheets, emails, and a lot of back-and-forth to assess vendor security. It was slow, inconsistent, and frankly, a nightmare to manage at scale.”

"Our vendor security risk assessments are now a well-oiled machine from where we started using UpGuard."

"We’re not just asking our vendors security questions. We’re also performing scans to confirm there are no security concerns. This helps us automate the security questionnaire process."

“Third-party assessments could take up to 20-80 hours per vendor. With hundreds of vendors, it would take a team of two a full year to assess them all.”

“If you’re familiar with Active Directory Group Policy, then UpGuard makes a lot of sense. Ultimately you have this environment and you have this policy you’re applying to it. We’re also using Octopus Deploy and UpGuard uses many of the same methodologies. The two products complement each other.“

"Open-Xchange uses a vulnerability scanner across the organization’s internal and external attack surfaces. While the scanner provides in-depth coverage, it doesn’t have asset discovery capabilities.

We needed a solution that would streamline risk assessments and ensure compliance without slowing the business down.”

“We had no way of determining the overall maturity of a vendor. So we had no way of estimating and comparing security maturity between vendors when going to tender.”

“You see relevant information about a vendor in one place, including their location, security score.”

“We knew no one tool would be a silver bullet, but we were looking for a solution that met the majority of our requirements without too much extra customization. When we compared the tools, UpGuard came out on top.”

“The biggest factor for us was time, We needed a tool that wouldn’t take more time to manage than the value it provided. UpGuard was by far the most efficient and user-friendly.”

“We’re stewards of public funds, When we choose a vendor, we need to justify that decision. Now, if anyone questions why we selected a particular provider, we can point to an independent, third-party assessment. That transparency is crucial.”

"UpGuard provides an outsider's view of how an organization is doing in terms of vendor risk with the ever-increasing susceptibility of a cyberattack."
