“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’re stewards of public funds, When we choose a vendor, we need to justify that decision. Now, if anyone questions why we selected a particular provider, we can point to an independent, third-party assessment. That transparency is crucial.”

"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."

"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."

"This multinational provides a wide range of financial services. UpGuard helps prevent data breaches, by continuously scanning their own, as well as third-party vendors helps de-risk their exposure to suppliers and enables them to be proactive in managing third-party vendor risk."

“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 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.”

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

"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."

"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."

“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."
