“Our previous vendor assessment process required a significant amount of time and also lacked the capability to identify specific types of risks that may be present across our supply chain.”

“It’s important for us to monitor our vulnerabilities and security ratings because our insurers expect us to effectively protect and secure their data.”

"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."

"Having a system like UpGuard helps us sleep at night because we always know if we’ve overlooked any vulnerabilities."

"We need to be audit-ready at all times, We cannot tell our clients, ‘Don’t audit us today.’ That’s not an option."

“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.”

"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."

"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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"Thanks to UpGuard, 640 hours of manual testing were reduced to 30 minutes, getting the datacenter operational on time."

"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.

"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."
