"By automating cyber risk detection and assessment, UpGuard has helped increase our cybersecurity performance, while getting efficiency through automation."
“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.”
"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.”
"I run an IT Department with only two staff members. UpGuard allows me to continuously monitor my vendors and clients automatically."
"Thanks to UpGuard’s custom questionnaire builder, the custom questionnaire we have created will significantly speed up our vendor assessment process. Many assessments will be reviewed and approved in only half an hour."
"UpGuard was able to give us insight immediately into our online profile and identify our cyber risk."
"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."
“In terms of pure security improvement across our company, we now complete hundreds of maintenance tickets, which is a massive advancement we couldn’t have achieved without UpGuard. We previously wouldn’t have detected at least 10% of those tickets, so UpGuard has enabled us to work faster by detecting issues quickly and providing detailed information to remediate these issues."
"UpGuard to quickly assess the security profile of new company acquisitions to determine their impact on the company’s own security posture. The CIO notes that with so many third-party vendors to manage, immediate security score feedback is instrumental in providing accurate risk assessment."
"With a perfectly tuned container system, you can have as many as four-to-six times the number of server application instances as you can using Xen or KVM VMs on the same hardware."
"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."
"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.”
"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."
“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.”
“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.”
