Vendor Risk Assessments

Assessments that write themselves

Backlogs don’t build resilience. UpGuard automates third-party risk assessments from start to finish – sourcing evidence, analysing documents, mapping controls and generating reports in minutes, not weeks — so your team can clear the queue, focus on insight, and drive smarter security decisions.

Risk assessments that write themselves

Automation and AI handle the hard part from right-sizing scope, analysing evidence, mapping control coverage and even writing the final report. What once took hours now takes minutes – expanding your capacity, not your workload. Faster, consistent, and built for scale.

Start every assessment with answers

Start smarter, not from scratch. UpGuard combines automated scanning, pre-sourced evidence, and AI document parsing to build a clear picture before you ask a single question. When unverified controls remain, UpGuard automatically builds a targeted gap questionnaire for what’s missing – cutting noise, reducing back-and-forth, and getting responses faster. In fact 34% of vendors submit gap responses in under two days.

Right-size assessment scope

Not every vendor carries the same inherent risk, or needs the same depth of review. UpGuard’s control templates help teams assess vendors consistently, from four built-in tiers aligned to vendor criticality, to framework-specific templates for ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CCM, CIS Controls, NIST SP 800-53 and more. Each template is backed by underlying checks that break broad controls into specific implementation requirements, so teams can assess vendors with greater consistency, depth and confidence.

Assessments that power the bigger picture

Risk assessments shouldn’t stop at discovery. With UpGuard, every assessment becomes part of your end-to-end TPRM program. When vendor posture changes, UpGuard signals it’s time to reassess, keeping every insight current and every decision defensible.
