"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 mission-critical services, this insight is vital."
“You see relevant information about a vendor in one place, including their location, security score.”
“UpGuard has been a valuable tool for detecting external security threats without requiring any platform integration. 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.”
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
"UpGuard provides an outsider's view of how an organization is doing in terms of vendor risk with the ever-increasing susceptibility of a cyberattack."
“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.”
"UpGuard catches things that penetration testing misses and helps Xinja automate our vendor risk management processes."
"By automating cyber risk detection and assessment, UpGuard has helped increase our cybersecurity performance, while getting efficiency through automation."
"Open-Xchange uses a vulnerability scanner across the organization’s internal and external attack surfaces. While the scanner provides in-depth coverage, it doesn’t have asset discovery capabilities. It can only monitor what we know. It doesn’t have a perfect register of where every IT asset is, especially as we use dozens of cloud services for testing purposes.”
"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.”
"We can monitor and view any vulnerabilities easily using the UpGuard dashboard, allowing us complete visibility into our security."
“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."
