# 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.
