Includes automated threat analysis and integrates with existing security tools.

Pricing is quoted on request, across 4 plans (Standard, Professional, Corporate and Enterprise+), so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.","source":"https://www.upguard.com/pricing","question":"How much does UpGuard cost?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"We have confirmed browser-based access to UpGuard.

Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as UpGuard not holding them.
