Key strengths
UpGuard's licensing model and efficient learning curve offer best-in-class time to value and program efficiency.
Key weaknesses
Its strengths in cybersecurity and continuous monitoring ensure strong TPCRM capabilities, but those seeking an all-encompassing governance solution (e.g., covering environmental or privacy regulations) might benefit from additional integrations.

A transparent comparison of top solutions

RiskIQ Features
RiskIQ's platform provides insight and automation needed to map and monitor your organization's internet-exposed digital attack surface, understand and mitigate exposures, and expedite external threat investigation.
RiskIQ's threat detection and asset management platform finds known assets like your corporate website, microsites, and any other public-facing internet assets, unknown assets like third-party JavaScript resources, and rogue or malicious assets like typosquatted domains and abandoned servers.
RiskIQ Use Cases
RiskIQ ocuses on first-party attack surface management and does not provide a real solution for third-party risk management.
While RiskIQ is useful for assessing your own attack surface and may be sufficient to complete other assessment techniques when evaluating first-party risk, it has real limitations when applied to improving your organization's complete security posture.
You can't manage what you don't know about. An accurate and up to date inventory of you and your vendors' public-facing digital assets is a must for any cybersecurity program. It's no longer enough to only manage your own security posture. You need to know that your vendors are keeping the data you provide them safe too.
