# Vendor Shared Profiles

Abi Tyas Tunggal July 7, 2021

Now when you send a vendor a questionnaire through UpGuard, they’ll be prompted to create a free *Shared Profile* that lets them proactively share their security rating, completed questionnaires, and other security documentation.

If a vendor chooses to create one, it will drastically cut down the time it takes for you and other UpGuard customers to assess them in the future. It also benefits the vendor as they’ll spend less time filling out the same questionnaire while ensuring their customers have an accurate and up-to-date view of their security posture.

Vendors will be able to publish the following information on their *Shared Profile*:

* **Security ratings:** Toggle the inclusion of their own and their industry average security rating. [Learn more about security ratings here](https://www.upguard.com/blog/what-are-security-ratings).
* **Security contact:** Share contact information for the team or key employee who is responsible for security.
* **Company description:** Help users quickly understand what the vendor does.
* **Security questionnaires:** Proactively share complete security questionnaires to reduce time spent on answering similiar assessments.
* **Supporting documentation:** Share security-related documentation or compliance certifications such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, etc.
