UpGuard’s new User Risk product gives you a single, unified platform to manage the complexity of human risk. Our AI Analyst unifies identity, behavior, and threat signals to give you a comprehensive picture of your workforce risk, while contextual coaching helps you build a stronger security culture and transform your employees into a proactive line of defense.
Here’s how User Risk transforms your approach to managing human risk:
- AI Analyst: Automatically synthesizes thousands of signals into a prioritized action plan, helping your team focus on the threats that matter most and move beyond manual, time-consuming analysis.
- Unified Risk Signals: Consolidates disparate human risk signals – like unauthorized SaaS and AI usage, compromised credentials, and over-privileged permissions – into a single, unified view that’s updated daily.
- Real-Time Behavioral Coaching: Moves beyond ineffective training by delivering educational "nudges" directly within an employee's workflow, building secure habits at the exact moment of a risky action.
- Comprehensive Risk Discovery: Utilizes a browser extension and directory integrations to discover your true SaaS and AI footprint, including non-SSO apps that other tools miss.
- Unified User Risk Profile: Centralizes all discovered risks for each user into a single profile, allowing for targeted intervention and a clear view of your riskiest individuals and teams.

Pre-set assessment scope by vendor tier in Security Profile
You can now right-size vendor assessments by pre-setting scope with Security Profile control templates. Once set, these templates automatically apply across your vendor ecosystem based on vendor tier. Use our recommended tiered templates or tailor your own from the control library to match the exact scope you need. With an expanded security framework offering more comprehensive controls and checks, you get greater flexibility and precision when building assessments. Plus, the gap questionnaire is now dynamically generated from the applied template and pre-filled with existing evidence, so vendors only need to address what’s truly missing.
Ability to tune AI-commentary for Instant Risk Assessments
We’ve enhanced our AI Instant Risk Assessment commentary to give you more control. You can now fine tune the AI to suit your needs by setting the target audience (e.g. technical, non-technical), choosing the level of detail, and even entering custom prompts for specific use cases. Create the perfect report first time, faster than ever.
Vendor Risk AI analyst insights
We've added helpful, AI-generated insights to every vendor's summary page. Get an instant read on a vendor’s security posture and potential gaps, along with smart, actionable recommendations for next steps. The AI analyzes all active evidence including scan data, documents, questionnaires, and incidents to give you a comprehensive and immediate understanding.
More vendor evidence added to the Security Profile
We've added over 1,500 new public documents for more than 200 of our most-monitored vendors. These documents are now available as evidence in Vendor Risk and have been pre-scanned against the Security Profile. This update saves you time and effort by reducing the need to chase down evidence, so you can get to assessing your vendors faster.
Other improvements
- We’ve changed the description of B grade to Organization has reasonable security controls in place but could have gaps in their security posture to better reflect risk level.
- We’ve added some additional detail to the (excel) Vendor Risk assessment summary report including Portfolio, Grade and Assessment year.
- This release includes a number of bug fixes.
