ThreatNG Security vs UpGuard

ThreatNG Security combines External Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection and Security Ratings in an agentless web platform. Its outside-in discovery starts with a domain name and does not require internal credentials, API keys or software agents. Discovery covers internet-facing infrastructure across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, including shadow IT, exposed cloud buckets and cloud-service impersonation. ThreatNG also monitors the surface, deep and dark web for malicious domain registrations, compromised credentials and brand-impersonation attempts. Its Context Engine correlates technical findings with legal, financial and operational information using multiple data sources. Role-based access controls assign permissions for attack-surface, digital-risk and security-rating information. An API can connect platform data with existing security infrastructure; findings can feed SIEM systems and guide EDR investigations, while TIP data can enrich findings. The platform lists support for standards including CIS, HIPAA, NIST CSF, GDPR, PCI DSS and SOC 2. Pricing is on request, and a limited-time free evaluation offers full platform capabilities, including Recursive Discovery, DarChain intelligence mapping and the Context Engine.

UpGuard is a cloud platform for managing cyber risk across an organization’s vendors, digital footprint, and workforce. Vendor Risk supplies continuous vendor insights, assessments, and AI-powered workflows. Attack Surface Management monitors an organization’s digital footprint to help detect threats, while Trust Exchange provides questionnaire automation, a Trust Page, and collaboration features. The platform supports remediation tracking and advanced risk prioritization, with access through web and API.

Standard is listed at $1,750 a month when billed annually. UpGuard says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and its security program aligns with ISO/IEC 27001; it also reports SOC 2 Type II compliance and annual attestation.
