Who are we?
UpGuard’s mission is to protect the world’s data. We obsessively seek out elegant, robust ways to enable our customers to find, acknowledge, and remediate cyber risk.

The Product team works across many types of initiatives at UpGuard. From our brand voice and websites to our quarterly event, UpGuard Summit. Since UpGuard’s main audience is other people who keep their companies secure, we agonize over and take pride in creating content that is user-friendly, educational, and more importantly, actionable.
