What’s New in UpGuard | November 2022

Beta customers can compare responses between two versions of a questionnaire with our Questionnaire Changes View. This new feature will make it faster and easier for you to reassess your vendors, by allowing you to focus on questionnaire responses that have changed, giving you a more accurate and up-to-date picture of the vendor’s security posture. Talk to your Technical Account Manager or reach out to support@upguard.com to learn more.

To help drive the risk assessment process and ensure your vendors respond to you, we’ve added some new notifications to keep track of and follow up on your activity within UpGuard. These include risk reassessment dates, and questionnaire and remediation request due dates. You can configure these notifications to appear in-app on your home screen, as well as via email in your Settings.

We’ve added two new questionnaires to the library—the Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Tool (HECVAT) questionnaire, as well as a HECVAT Lite version—which will help institutions align their vendor risk posture to higher education-specific security controls.

You can now quickly and easily identify your organization's highest areas of risk with our CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) feature. This feature will allow you to prioritize the remediation of vulnerabilities that directly impact your business, and allow you to set up notifications to be informed when a vulnerability you have is added to the KEV list.
