How to choose a UpGuard Vendor Risk alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
UpGuard Standard lists US$1,750 a month billed annually for 50 monitored vendors, with each additional monitored vendor listed at US$79 a month. Check whether you need both external monitoring and assessment workflows, or whether assessment work is the part you want to change.
- 2
Who owns your records
Ask where vendor names, ratings, labels, evidence and decisions are held, and what you can take with you. The documented UpGuard export includes names, primary domains, rating observations and labels. Prior decisions, evidence files and exceptions are outside that export.
- 3
Does it fit your rules
Check whether you can set questions, review intervals, approval rules and exception handling around your services, information and decision-makers. A standard workflow may not match your supplier risk process. An owned version can be built around your own rules and fields.

What does switching involve
Plan for more than moving vendor names and ratings. Questionnaire history, evidence files, prior decisions and exceptions are outside the documented export. Enterprise DNA can map those separately from records your account can supply, then check the result with you.
The option that fits
A vendor risk desk built for your business
If you want the review desk to reflect how your business assesses suppliers, an owned version is the option that fits. Enterprise DNA builds your vendor cyber risk desk around your services, fields, questions, review intervals and approval rules, brings across the UpGuard vendor data your account can supply, and runs it for you. It uses a database you own. There is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. A free version is available if you want to run it yourself.

Questions
UpGuard Vendor Risk alternatives, answered
Does an owned vendor risk desk replace UpGuard monitoring? expand_more
UpGuard includes external security ratings and monitoring as well as assessment and remediation workflows. If you need current external monitoring, keep a monitoring provider. The owned desk handles assessment administration and can connect your chosen provider, rather than recreating UpGuard's proprietary ratings, continuous scanning or Trust Exchange network.
Which UpGuard records can I bring across? expand_more
The documented vendor export includes names, primary domains, rating observations and labels. Questionnaire history, evidence files, prior decisions and exceptions are outside that export. Enterprise DNA can map those separately from the records your account can supply, then check the result with you.
Can the review use our own questions and approval rules? expand_more
Yes. Enterprise DNA builds your version around the services your suppliers provide, the information they handle and the people authorised to decide. Your questions, review intervals and exception rules can be set for your business, along with the access controls, intake forms and reports your team needs.
What costs should I consider beyond the free version? expand_more
Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer to run your version. Hosting, the tools used to operate it and any external monitoring remain part of the agreed scope. The free version is available for you to run yourself, and the open-source software has no per-vendor licence fee.
