Category

UpGuard

ComplyScore®

Lifecycle Coverage

Strong for assessments and alerts. Some enterprise users report limited flexibility in managing multi-step workflows.

Complete third-party lifecycle: onboarding, due diligence, compliance, contract tracking, remediation, and monitoring.

Risk Domain Coverage

Monitors 70+ external cyber vectors, ideal for surface-level posture evaluation; less emphasis on internal compliance risks.

Focuses on 19 high-impact domains (cyber, legal, financial, ESG, privacy) designed for regulated enterprises. Offers in-depth governance vs. broad scanning.

Regulatory Alignment

Well-aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST, but less visibility into region-specific frameworks like DPDP or healthcare mandates.

Natively supports HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, HITRUST, and DPDP, built with compliance-heavy sectors in mind.

Assessment and Questionnaires

Rapid AI-based document parsing and templated workflows; users find assessment depth and filtering limited in some scenarios.

AI-powered, multilingual questionnaires with engagement-specific risk tiering and flexible scoring.

Monitoring and Alerts

Real-time alerts from continuous scanning are a core strength; some reviewers cite a lack of fine-tuned filtering or report customization.

Tracks vendor compliance posture, including credentials, sanctions, licenses, and security gaps, beyond just scans.

Attack Surface Management (ASM)

Offers broad external ASM capabilities, but some users feel the data is superficial or misaligned with deeper TPRM needs

Includes ASM as part of a broader TPRM strategy, aligned with vendor risk tiering, assessments, and compliance frameworks for more actionable insights

Security Ratings

Delivered as part of risk assessments with contextual reports and SME oversight, aligned to compliance and audit goals.

Usability and Learning Curve

Clean interface and quick setup are appreciated; some larger orgs noted challenges in navigating portfolios or domain filtering.

Onboarding is smooth with expert guidance and responsive service. Dashboards are scalable, efficient, and easy to interpret.

Workflow Automation

Offers automated report generation and vendor tiering; some feedback mentions limitations in document formatting/custom attributes.

Embedded automation for onboarding, tiering, escalations, and mitigation with configurable, industry-aligned templates.

AI Capabilities

Strong AI functionality for scan-based assessments and rapid report generation; excels in cybersecurity posture scoring.

AI supports assessments, risk scoring, report generation, and sentiment analysis, tuned for enterprise compliance.

Customer Support

Highly responsive team; some reviews suggest deeper guidance is needed for larger deployments or technical customizations.

Backed by 100+ global SMEs, delivers proactive support with expert involvement throughout the risk lifecycle.
