- Step 2: Confirm domains, subdomains, and IPs
- Step 3: Prep your team
- Step 4: Get your team onboard
Step 1: Create an account
Create your UpGuard Breach Risk account.
Your account manager will help you with this.
Step 2: Confirm domains, subdomains, and IPs
UpGuard automatically detects domains and IPs associated with your company.
- Review Breach Risk>Domains and IP Addresses, and confirm the lists’ accuracy.
- (for plans with Subsidiaries). Review the Subsidiaries module and confirm accuracy.
- If something is missing, or if something is listed that shouldn’t be, please reach out to support@upguard.com.
Tip: You can also add a custom domain (a domain you want or need to monitor but which you don’t yet own). Custom domains you add impact your private but not public rating.
Step 3: Prep your team
- Let your team know that you’re implementing a new software. Share why you’re making a change and what might be different (and better!) for them now. If they’ll be expected to follow a new process: you can tell them that change is coming and more details will be follow.
- Share new processes and expectations as you have them. As you switch to working in UpGuard, you’ll identify places where a process might be different than what you did before. That’s good! but change can be hard. Let your team know what they’re expected to do and what they can expect in return as things change.
Step 4: Get your team onboard
- Invite users. Invite anyone who will be monitoring or managing risks. Team members who only need to view information can be added as read-only.
- Set up SSO. We strongly recommend setting up SSO for any teams that currently have SSO in place for other systems.
