“UpGuard’s Cyber Risk scoring helps us understand which of our vendors are most likely to breach so we can take action now, before something happens."

"We now have an automated, robust process for validating that planned changes are made correctly. That reduces regulatory and operational risk, lowers costs, and allows us to drive continuous improvement."

"UpGuard was able to give us insight immediately into our online profile and identify our cyber risk."

"UpGuard to quickly assess the security profile of new company acquisitions to determine their impact on the company’s own security posture. The CIO notes that with so many third-party vendors to manage, immediate security score feedback is instrumental in providing accurate risk assessment."

“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.”

"Before UpGuard, conducting proper research for each vendor would eat up a lot of time – Does it comply with our requirements? Where is their data located? Do they have privacy policies."

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

“We check the dashboard daily. Our score reflects how well we are doing. The higher the score, the more confident we are in our security posture.”

“Before using UpGuard, our cyber risk management processes were very immature and still developing. Even after we started using UpGuard, we weren’t leveraging the tools the best we could.”

"Having an automated way to look at the attack surface is a great way to flag things like unmanned pages or EOL apps. It’s a low-hanging fruit to improve our security."

"UpGuard provides me an overview of the security across all the schools and helps me fix these security issues."

“If they had a potential accounting impact, then we would insist on a SOC 1, Type 2 or SOC 2, Type 2. If they did not have an accounting impact, we had a phone call or sent a questionnaire.”

“I take a deep dive into the technical features to help the vendor when I send a remediation request.”

“I look at the newsfeed to see if any companies we do business with have had a cybersecurity incident.”
