"By automating cyber risk detection and assessment, UpGuard has helped increase our cybersecurity performance, while getting efficiency through automation."

"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 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 monitor and view any vulnerabilities easily using the UpGuard dashboard, allowing us complete visibility into our security."

“We had basic questions regarding business processes and security controls, but wanted to go deeper to provide high-level reporting that provided clarity into the vendor.”

"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.”

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

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

"Vendor Risk helps us manage vendor security performance across a diverse client base. It’s easy to use, and the vendor security questionnaire module helps us track workflows, surface security and prioritise specific risks for remediation."

"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."

“The biggest factor for us was time, We needed a tool that wouldn’t take more time to manage than the value it provided. UpGuard was by far the most efficient and user-friendly.”
