This service enhances your team’s capabilities, providing thorough and timely vendor assessments so you can focus on mitigating risks and strengthening your security posture.
Our global team of in-house cybersecurity analysts manages the entire vendor assessment process. Each analyst is dedicated to understanding your goals and the specific context of your business.
Managed Vendor Assessments are designed to scale your third-party risk management program without the need to hire additional staff. Whether you’re a small business with a few vendors or a large multinational managing thousands, we can assist you.
For small businesses without in-house third-party risk experts, our analyst team provides expert assessments of critical suppliers. For large companies, UpGuard’s team offers a flexible pool of experts to process large volumes of vendors, allowing you to concentrate on broader business objectives.
If you are interested, please contact us so. We’ll discuss your needs, explain our pricing, and help you get started.
Once you’re set-up, you’ll be able to request a managed service from the Managed Vendors area of the product, monitor the progress of your requests, and review complete requests from within the UpGuard platform. Here’s how the process works:
Step 1: Meet Your Analyst
A dedicated analyst, tailored to your specific needs, is assigned to manage your vendor assessments.
Step 2: Data Gathering and Analysis
Your analyst requests, collects, and reviews vendor security documentation. They then conduct a thorough assessment and generate a comprehensive report.
Step 3: Receive Actionable Insights
The finalized report is delivered through the platform, providing a clear, concise overview of key risks and how they were identified.
Vendors that are managed by UpGuard's Managed Vendor Assessments will also show up in the list of all vendors in Vendor Risk. Any vendors managed by UpGuard will not count toward the license usage of self-managed vendors.
