UpGuard
Cyber risk posture management platform spanning vendor supply chain, attack surface, and (
UpGuard is a cyber risk posture management platform that brings vendor risk, attack surface monitoring, human risk, trust management, and risk automations into a single view. Founded in 2012, it is designed to help security teams detect control lapses, prioritize findings, and coordinate remediation across their supply chain, digital footprint, and workforce.
The platform is organized into modules: Vendor Risk for third-party assessments and continuous monitoring, Breach Risk for attack surface visibility, User Risk for workforce and AI governance, Trust Exchange for questionnaire automation and a Trust Page, and Risk Automations for connecting to system APIs. It is built on the GRID framework, covering signal collection, risk inference, impact analysis, AI orchestration, and real-time ratings. Integrations include native Jira Cloud, Slack, ServiceNow, and Zapier connectivity to thousands of apps, along with a REST API and webhooks. SSO via SAML and OIDC is supported, and the service runs on Google Cloud Platform with SOC 2 Type II attestation.
UpGuard is aimed at security teams managing third-party and enterprise cyber risk. Vendor Risk is offered in Standard, Professional, Corporate, and Enterprise+ editions, with annual billing on the entry tier and contact-based pricing above it; tiers differ by vendor monitoring slots, platform user counts, and features such as role-based access, audit logs, and fourth-party visibility. A free trial is available, and other modules are packaged separately.
