Case Study: Westfund accelerates vendor onboarding and strengthens third-party risk management with UpGuard

Westfund uses UpGuard to understand and bring clarity over their third-party vendor security efforts

Westfund, an Australian regional not-for-profit health fund, needed a better way to manage third-party vendor security assessments. Before using UpGuard, its team relied on lengthy paper-based questionnaires, emails, and spreadsheets, making it difficult to track responses, compare vendors’ security maturity, or prioritize risks effectively.

With UpGuard’s third-party risk management platform, Westfund was able to monitor vendors continuously, send questionnaires, request remediation, and assess security posture from one system. UpGuard significantly accelerated Westfund’s onboarding process, helping the organization scale more rapidly and securely while improving visibility into vendor security and supporting CPS 234 compliance.
