Vendor Risk Management Software
UpGuard: features, pricing and who it fits
UpGuard combines security ratings with vendor risk tools and publishes its Standard plan at $1,750 monthly on annual billing, including SSO and API access. Plans are tiered by vendor count. Reviewers cite rigid reporting, limited remediation tools and some features sold as add-ons.
Who UpGuard is for
Best for
- Mid-size security teams that want published entry pricing for vendor risk
- Teams monitoring around 50 vendors who want SSO and API at the base plan
Look elsewhere if
- Teams with only a few vendors on a tight budget (Standard is $21,000 per year before add-ons)
- Buyers needing data residency without extra cost
