"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."

“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.”

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

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

"Having a system like UpGuard helps us sleep at night because we always know if we’ve overlooked any vulnerabilities."

“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.“

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."
