Case Study: a global logistics company secures vendor onboarding and improves security posture with UpGuard

UpGuard helps a logistics company secure its vendor onboarding process and achieve an industry-leading security posture

Global Logistics Company, a logistics company handling freight, cargo, port logistics, warehousing, and distribution, turned to UpGuard after its CIO and security team had little visibility into their own security posture or that of third parties and competitors. With data integration making supply-chain risk especially important, they needed a way to uncover leaked data, assess vendor risk, and benchmark their security against peers.

Using the UpGuard platform for vendor risk management, security scoring, and continuous monitoring, the team could identify vulnerabilities, track improvements, rerun scans, and quickly assess new acquisitions and vendor security gaps. UpGuard helped them secure vendor onboarding, detect compromised passwords, and achieve an A security score, while most competitors were only at B at best, improving customer experience and reducing onboarding times.
