Introducing AI-Powered Security Profile and Instant Risk Assessments

Toby Roger February 26, 2025

Supercharge your vendor assessments in UpGuard Vendor Risk with AI-powered Security Profiles and Instant Risk Assessments—faster, smarter, and more efficient than ever.

Here’s how these features take your vendor risk assessments to the next level:

  • AI-powered analysis: Automatically uncover security control alignment, risks, and compliance gaps—insights that once required manual effort, now fully automated with AI.
  • Complete security profile visibility: Gain instant clarity on a vendor’s compliance, risk exposure, and security posture with the new security profile—visibility that was previously difficult to achieve, now delivered in one streamlined profile.
  • Proactive vendor engagement: Easily request supplementary evidence from vendors to determine security posture and compliance gaps—removing guesswork and ensuring more comprehensive assessments.
  • Smarter, faster reporting: AI Assess converts all evidence and findings into structured, insightful risk narratives—seamlessly transforming scattered information into clear, actionable intelligence.
  • Comprehensive risk assessment: Generate and publish a point-in-time risk assessment report with AI Assess’s contextual commentary in mere minutes—providing a level of depth and clarity that once took hours to achieve.
