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
