Release notes # Vendor comparison tool Abi Tyas Tunggal August 3, 2021 You can now compare the security posture of up to four vendors side-by-side and dive into the details to see which vendor represents the lowest risk. Comparing vendors is a great way to communicate the security posture of new vendors to stakeholders prior to onboarding the vendor. It’s also a great way to see how your current vendors stack up against potential alternatives that may offer improved security. This feature is currently in beta. If you would like to join the beta prior to the official release, please reach out to us. When you compare vendors, you’ll be able to see their overall security rating, average rating across their industry, as well as their rating across each risk category. This gives you a great, high-level view of their security posture. If you want to dive deeper, you can scroll down to see their overall security rating over the last month, quarter, and year, as well as a breakdown of the number and severity of risks across their risk profile. Below this, you’ll get a breakdown of the number and severity of risks across each risk category, as well as a summary of all the assets associated with each vendor and general information about the vendor. And if you need to communicate the comparison to stakeholders, simply click *Export* in the top-right corner of your screen to generate a downloadable PDF report that outlines everything shown on the page.
