Election security is one of the most important parts of an election in order to preserve voter safety, prevent voter fraud, and, ultimately, build public trust in the electoral process.

The Utah State government passed the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA) in March 2022, scheduling the law to go into effect on December 31, 2023. Utah is the fourth state in the United States to pass a state privacy law. Compared to preceding US privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), and Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), the UCPA has a narrower scope, making the law more friendly to businesses and data controllers.

A better, smarter way to protect your data and prevent breaches. Our products help security, risk and vendor management teams take control of cyber risk and move faster with confidence.
UpGuard gathers complete information across every digital surface, stores it in a single, searchable repository, and provides continuous validation and insightful visualizations so companies can make informed decisions.
UpGuard then aggregates this information into an industry standard cyber risk score called CSTAR. The CSTAR score is a single, easy-to-understand value representing an organization's aptitude in monitoring compliance, tracking unwanted change, and detecting vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.
Businesses depend on trust, but breaches and outages erode that trust. UpGuard is the world’s first cyber resilience platform, designed to proactively assess and manage the business risks posed by technology.
