What UpGuard does
Transform how you manage cyber risk with the only cyber risk posture management (CRPM) platform that spans your supply chain, attack surface, workforce, and trust relationships. By unifying risk detection, inference, orchestration & scoring across your entire organization the UpGuard CRPM platform provides some key benefits:
- See everything: The UpGuard CRPM platform continuously assesses an organization’s security posture by looking for risks and vulnerabilities across its vendor ecosystem, attack surface, and internal workforce.
- Act in seconds: The UpGuard CRPM platform instantly prioritizes the most critical issues and provides guided remediation and automated workflows that close gaps in minutes.
- Continuous assurance: The UpGuard CRPM platform moves beyond point-in-time audits with always-on monitoring, real-time risk scoring, and live reporting that proves security posture at any moment.
- Zero grunt work: The UpGuard CRPM platform automates manual tasks like data correlation, questionnaire chasing, and signal triage, giving lean teams back thousands of hours yearly.
- Compounding intelligence: Powered by the GRID*, the UpGuard CRPM platform gets smarter with every new signal it analyzes. Each data point strengthens the overall system, delivering better inferences, faster responses, and a multiplying return on value.
*What is the GRID? The heart of our CRPM platform, our collection of Global Risk Inference Domains. The GRID fuses signals, AI analysts, and automated agents in one constantly learning network. It interprets data and acts on it, compounding intelligence over time.
