"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."

"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."

"We did a group diff with UpGuard and quickly discovered that one of our web servers had a different configuration from the other six supporting the application. We restored that server’s configuration and things were back to normal. We couldn’t have done that without UpGuard.”

“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 check the dashboard daily. Our score reflects how well we are doing. The higher the score, the more confident we are in our security posture.”

“Before UpGuard, we had to juggle the vendors we could monitor due to our limited-licensing structure. If we partnered with a new vendor, we had to evaluate which vendors to remove to make room.”

“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’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.”

"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."

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

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

"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."

“We used UpGuard because it was an easily-delegated, easily-deployed product which did what we needed it to do."

“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.”
