“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 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."

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

"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."

“UpGuard’s real-time security scoring system is beneficial. I get immediate feedback after releasing new functionality or responding to a highlighted risk. Seeing your security score go up is gratifying, almost like winning in a video game. Hence, it provides a psychological incentive to take care of the otherwise mundane task.”

"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 complicated environment requires attention to detail when reviewing security risks. We have many cloud-first vendors so the UpGuard platform allows us to be granular and gives us an interesting layered insight on our supply chain that could have a critical impact on our operation. As a telecommunications company providing …

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

“You see relevant information about a vendor in one place, including their location, security score.”

"We’re not just asking our vendors security questions. We’re also performing scans to confirm there are no security concerns. This helps us automate the security questionnaire process."

“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.”

"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."

"We can now get comprehensive vulnerability reports, tied directly to specific CIs. Because of this, we’ll also be able to drive end-to-end remediation processes within ServiceNow, and tie this directly back into other areas such as GRC.”

"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."

“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.“
