“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.”

“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.”

"It becomes easy to monitor hundreds of vendors on the UpGuard platform with instant email notifications if the vendor’s score drops below the threshold set based on risk or business."

“Our previous vendor assessment process required a significant amount of time and also lacked the capability to identify specific types of risks that may be present across our supply chain.”

“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.”

"This multinational provides a wide range of financial services. UpGuard helps prevent data breaches, by continuously scanning their own, as well as third-party vendors helps de-risk their exposure to suppliers and enables them to be proactive in managing third-party vendor risk."

"If a vendor score drops below 600, we know there is a security issue with that vendor and we work with them to remediate that."

“We have set up notifications with UpGuard, such that if a vendor drops by 5 points, we reach out to the vendor in order to fix those security issues. These are usually issues such as SSL certificates expiring or DNS issues.”

“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.“

"UpGuard catches things that penetration testing misses and helps Xinja automate our vendor risk management processes."

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

"One thing that's been really impressive has been the continuous little tweaks and new features that the development team has been doing. Those things keep the solution fresh and I find the new features are really, really useful."

“It’s important for us to monitor our vulnerabilities and security ratings because our insurers expect us to effectively protect and secure their data.”

“UpGuard’s Customer Success Managers are far more knowledgeable about their tool than other vendors we’ve worked with. The entire team understands exactly how to utilize the tool to its fullest ability.”

"We need to be audit-ready at all times, We cannot tell our clients, ‘Don’t audit us today.’ That’s not an option."
