50 UpGuard Testimonials

“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."

"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."

“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 using UpGuard, our cyber risk management processes were very immature and still developing. Even after we started using UpGuard, we weren’t leveraging the tools the best we could.”

With its automated reports, we are able to quickly take action against potential attacks and categorize risks based on severity. Additionally, UpGuard assists us in assessing the security health of our onboarded vendors and identifying subdomains within our master domains.”

"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.”

"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."
