“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 knew no one tool would be a silver bullet, but we were looking for a solution that met the majority of our requirements without too much extra customization. When we compared the tools, UpGuard came out on top.”

“If you’re familiar with Active Directory Group Policy, then UpGuard makes a lot of sense. Ultimately you have this environment and you have this policy you’re applying to it. We’re also using Octopus Deploy and UpGuard uses many of the same methodologies. The two products complement each other.“

"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.”

"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 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."

"One thing that's been really impressive has been the continuous little tweaks and new features that the development team has been doing. Those things keep the solution fresh and I find the new features are really, really useful."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

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

“We had no way of determining the overall maturity of a vendor. So we had no way of estimating and comparing security maturity between vendors when going to tender.”

"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.”
