How to add a new vendor

UpGuard scans millions of domains & IPs on a daily basis, automatically assigning each to the organization who owns or manage the domain.

UpGuard Vendor Risk is a self service platform, allowing you to add monitored vendors as needed, directly in the platform.

When you monitor a vendor, you'll be able to:

Request remediation of any identified risks
Send security questionnaires
Receive notifications about changes in security rating, vendor domains, and vendor risks
