We Researched Four AI Evidence Analysis Tools for TPRM. Here's What We Found.

Sep 17, 2026 By Cassy van Eeden In UpGuard
Analyzing vendor evidence is a massive undertaking, which is why more third-party risk management (TPRM) tools now offer AI capabilities that let teams upload evidence and get a faster read on a security assessment. When these capabilities come up in a vendor evaluation, the conversation almost always narrows to one question: how accurate are the AI results? A tool can answer every individual question correctly and still leave you exposed.

Sep 17, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
Apple's 2025 App Store Transparency Report states that the company blocked over $2.2 billion in fraudulent transactions and removed roughly 59,000 apps for bait-and-switch tactics: publishing one thing to gain approval, then swapping in something else once the app goes live. The year before, fraud accounted for 38,315 of Apple's 82,509 total app removals, roughly 46%, making it the second-largest removal category that year. Google's numbers point in the same direction.

Best Dark Web Monitoring Services for Business

Sep 16, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
Most security stacks still find out about stolen credentials the hard way: when an attacker logs in with them. Sometimes the first warning sign is a customer complaint or a call from law enforcement. Dark web monitoring services for business close that gap by watching underground sources for any exposure tied to your domains, employees, code, and brand, so you can reset access before someone else gets there first.

Good Security Rating? Your Dark Web Exposure Says Otherwise

Sep 14, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
Ask a security leader how secure their company is, and most will point to a number. A rating, maybe a grade, or a score out of some maximum that a vendor calculated for them. That number only measures half the problem. It tells you about your infrastructure: your email configuration, your encryption, what's visible on the internet. It tells you much less about whether your employees' credentials are already exposed to an attacker.

Dark Web Monitoring Vendors Compared

Sep 11, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
According to the 2026 Context Gap research, 79% of organizations first learn about active threats from outsiders rather than their own tooling. You've watched another headline roll past of a Fortune 500 company exposed on the dark web. Each story ends the same way: with a breach notification and inevitable board questions. You decide your company won't be the next case study. You need a tool that'll find your exposures before an attacker does.

The Best Vendor Performance Management Tools and Software (2026)

Sep 10, 2026 By Cassy van Eeden In UpGuard
If you manage vendors, supplier drift looks familiar. A delivery arrives late. A vendor misses a service-level agreement (SLA) target, and nobody flags it. Tickets sit unresolved, and quality dips just enough that it never makes the weekly stand-up. The problem is timing. Most teams find out a vendor missed its uptime or response-time targets at renewal, months after anyone could’ve fixed it.
