Product Information on UpGuard Vendor Risk

Updated 13th October 2025

What is UpGuard Vendor Risk?

UpGuard Vendor Risk is a software designed to help organizations assess, monitor, and manage risk related to their third-party vendors.

Users can leverage questionnaires, automated workflows, and continuous monitoring to identify vulnerabilities and maintain oversight of vendor performance. UpGuard Vendor Risk supports reporting and remediation activities, helping businesses address regulatory requirements and reduce potential risk exposure from external relationships. It enables centralized visibility into the risk status of vendors, aiding organizations in making informed decisions while maintaining consistent security standards across their supply chain.

UpGuard Vendor Risk Pricing

Pricing may vary based on user requirements, organization size, and additional modules or support services selected. Exact pricing details are provided upon request or consultation.

“Improving security posture”

5.0
Dec 10, 2025
Good product giving up to date security ratings. Other tools like to hold onto bad news for several weeks even after issues have been fixed. Really good support from the team. It's given us motivation to constantly improve our security posture.

“Decent UI and API, scoring, but missing bulk/mass Vendor Reporting”

3.0
Apr 11, 2023
Decent UI, responsive & professional support. Straightforward, basic logic; wished it had better options for mass actions in terms of report generation of Vendors' reports.

Performance of UpGuard Vendor Risk Across Market Features

UpGuard Vendor Risk Likes & Dislikes

Like

Ease of calling out poor configuration. Excellent QA tool to audit administrators of certificates and domains ensuring they don't expire or are removed when no longer needed. Fantastic and timely support for removal or addition of domains or for helping to manage false positives.

Like

Transparent about the weights used in scoring model, so even if I disagree w/ the approach, I can still compensate in my understanding.

Like

I like the adaptability of the platform to align the features and capabilities to what my organization needs. I like being able to scale our use case with automation, reducing the amount of time that would be needed to complete and organize a risk assessment.

Dislike

Some domains are associated with our company which don't appear to be true. Sometimes some evidence is needed, which is not visible to us, for why the domain was attributed to us.

Dislike

Mass/bulk action not available through the UI or through the api for vendor reporting.

Dislike

I wish that the platform had more automation associated with it, rather than automation that had to be built in by my team. I would love for the ability to upload evidence from a vendor and have it accurately scan the information and extract responses to incorporate into a risk assessment.
