Cyber risk platform combining vendor ratings, questionnaires, and threat intelligence
UpGuard operates a cyber risk management platform built on React, Go, and PostgreSQL, with significant data infrastructure (BigQuery, dbt, SQLMesh) handling 100B+ risk signals. The hiring shape reveals a sales-driven organization—57 open sales roles against just 4 engineering roles—while active projects (custom data fabric, marketing stack integrations, compliance automation) show pressure to scale GTM processes and reduce manual security work. Revenue retention and third-party risk complexity remain core operational bottlenecks.
