How To Generate A Vendor Risk Report Upguard
Our Vendor Report feature generates a downloadable PDF or Word document that summarizes the security posture of any of your monitored vendors. The report is designed to be shared with internal and external stakeholders who are not UpGuard users, such as a colleague, board member or employees of the associated vendor. The language is simple, easy-to-understand, and suitable for non-technical audiences. When shared with colleagues, reports can be used to drive decision-making, speed up vendor due diligence, and highlight high-risk vendors that should no longer be used. When shared with vendors, the report can aid in remediation efforts. Giving vendors access to their risk profile creates open, effective dialogue and empowers them to take action to remediate risks.
This directly translates to a reduced risk for your organization. To aid in remediation efforts, the report unpacks the vendor's security posture into six underlying categories: questionnaire, website security, network security, brand & reputation risk, email security, and phishing & malware. The Vendor risk assessment summary report is a downloadable PDF or Word document that summarizes your risk assessment activity and status across your monitored vendors. It includes information to help you track, follow up and plan your vendor risk assessment activity and program. The report will give you a useful snapshot to help you: Track and follow up on the status of you in-progress risk assessments
See which vendors are due for reassessment to help you plan for and schedule reassessments See which vendors have not been assessed so you can plan for future assessments There are three places you can go to generate reports. 1. In the ‘Reports’ navigation panel. Here you will find a library that houses key report types, aggregated in one place for you to explore.

A vendor risk report provides stakeholders with a snapshot of your Vendor Risk Management (VRM) performance. With concerns over the threat of supply chain attacks growing, cybersecurity reporting is evolving towards an increased focus on Vendor Risk Management program performance. Board members and senior management want to know how effectively your VRM initiatives are identifying and addressing vendor-related security risks.
This post provides a framework of best practices for designing the most effective vendor risk summary cybersecurity report. We added a new downloadable report to UpGuard. Now you can generate a report that outlines the security posture of any monitored vendor and share it. Reports can be configured to include automated scanning, questionnaires, and additional evidence, or be based on completed risk assessments. It’s also a nice way to introduce UpGuard to your colleagues, board members, or vendors without having to invite them to the platform. We also added context around each identified risk and remediation recommendations that can be used to drive decision-making, speed up vendor due diligence, and drive remediation efforts.
At the start of August, we released additional evidence to select customers. Since then we have improved the functionality. We’re excited about this as it enables many of you to capture risks identified in documents that your vendors have proactively published to their websites. Starting today, additional evidence is available for all UpGuard VendorRisk users and we’ll keep improving it over time. Learn how to capture additional evidence Transform how you manage cyber risk with the CRPM platform that unifies risk across your entire organization.

Learn how to protect your business with an effective cybersecurity program. Vendor Risk Management encompasses a wide range of cybersecurity risk factors. As such, a VRM report design could range from highly detailed to concise, depending on the specific reporting requirements of stakeholders and the board. This list represents the most comprehensive scope of third-party risk management (TPRM) information to address the broadest range of VRM reporting use cases.
UpGuard allows you to create and store risk assessments for any of your monitored vendors. The risk assessment feature allows you to: Specify the evidence you reviewed as part of the assessment (including domains and their associated risks, questionnaires, additional evidence, and automated scan results) Document your findings based on this evidence Request remediation, add comments to, or waive risks Make the assessment visible within the app to all the users of your account
Our Vendor Risk Reports are one of our most used features. In fact, many of you have gone as far as to monitor yourself as a vendor so you can get access to a similar report on yourself!

This report can be configured to include automated scanning results, competitor analysis, geolocation data, and underlying risk details. It provides context about identified risks, remediation recommendations, and information about how each risk category contributes to your overall security rating.

See how top security teams turn fragmented signals into coordinated, actionable insights across vendors, users, and external threats. In today’s interconnected business landscape, outsourcing to third-party vendors and service providers is an effective method for most organizations to improve operational efficiency and lower financial costs. However, as businesses form third-party partnerships, they inherit potential risks and increase the complexity of their third-party ecosystem, as any one vendor can become an attack vector that cybercriminals exploit to pursue a data... Vendor risk management (VRM) is a crucial cybersecurity process that enables organizations to mitigate third-party risks and safely outsource without compromising the integrity of their operation. Every organization with a successful VRM program utilizes a vendor risk management dashboard to monitor the holistic health of its third-party attack surface. The most well-calibrated VRM dashboards allow security teams to quickly analyze vendor-related data in one centralized interface, including security ratings, identified risks, and compliance status with major regulatory frameworks like the General Data Protection...
