“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.”

“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.”

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“We handle vast amounts of sensitive personal and patient data, including prescription records. If a vendor’s security posture is weak, it could expose us to regulatory risk and reputational damage. We needed a solution that would streamline risk assessments and ensure compliance without slowing the business down.”

“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."

"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."

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

"With a perfectly tuned container system, you can have as many as four-to-six times the number of server application instances as you can using Xen or KVM VMs on the same hardware."

“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.“

"Before UpGuard, our vendor risk management activities were less effective and comprehensive, even began after a vendor was onboarded. Now it's easy to monitor them via the dashboard, and it starts before they even sign the agreement."
