Case Study: Airline achieves faster, scalable third-party risk management with UpGuard Vendor Risk

Airline cuts vendor assessment time by 75% with UpGuard

An airline faced significant challenges managing third-party cyber risk across its vast supply chain of over 4,300 vendors. A team of seven cybersecurity consultants was overwhelmed by weeks-long manual assessment cycles, siloed data, and a lack of visibility, leaving critical operations exposed. They turned to UpGuard Vendor Risk for a solution.

By implementing UpGuard, the airline automated workflows and centralized its vendor risk data into a single platform. This allowed the team to achieve full visibility and continuous monitoring of all vendors. The results were substantial, including a 75% reduction in vendor assessment time and a 100%+ increase in assessments completed, with processes that once took weeks now taking just 2-3 days. UpGuard provided the strategic advantage to manage risk with confidence across its entire ecosystem.
