UpGuard is a cybersecurity and risk management platform founded in 2011 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The company provides third-party risk monitoring, security ratings, and compliance management solutions that help enterprises assess and mitigate vendor and supply chain security risks. With approximately 350 employees across offices in Sydney, San Francisco, and London, UpGuard serves mid-market and enterprise customers who need continuous visibility into the security posture of their business partners and external systems. The platform combines automated security assessments with business context to prioritize risks that actually matter, addressing a critical gap between traditional security testing and real-world threat exposure. UpGuard has grown steadily as organizations increasingly recognize third-party risk as a material business concern in their security and compliance strategies.
UpGuard operates as a customer-focused technology company where engineers and product teams collaborate closely on solving concrete security challenges. The company emphasizes transparency in internal communications and decision-making, with a security-first mindset embedded across roles. As a distributed organization spanning multiple continents, the culture values asynchronous collaboration and results-oriented work. The company prioritizes technical depth and product excellence over process overhead, attracting people motivated by building tools that materially reduce organizational risk.
