50 UpGuard Testimonials

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

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

"I run an IT Department with only two staff members. UpGuard allows me to continuously monitor my vendors and clients automatically."

“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.”

"Upguard has helped us de-risk our organisation, with solutions that are both reliable and accurate in producing fact-based information about our key suppliers, that we can proactively act on in order to help keep our platforms secure and stable."

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

"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 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.”

"Thanks to UpGuard, 640 hours of manual testing were reduced to 30 minutes, getting the datacenter operational on time."

"Thanks to UpGuard’s custom questionnaire builder, the custom questionnaire we have created will significantly speed up our vendor assessment process. Many assessments will be reviewed and approved in only half an hour."

"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."

"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."

"The UpGuard platform automatically identifies pockets of our exposure to 4th party vendor risk. When a major outage is announced, we know in a matter of minutes how this could affect our vendors’ ability to serve us and, in turn, our ability to serve our clients."
