About VigilGuard™
VigilGuard started with a simple idea: security tools should be clear, open, and actually help teams move faster. After years in enterprise IT and security, we saw how much time is wasted fighting blind spots, spreadsheets, and clunky platforms that never keep up with real risk.
We built VigilGuard to change that. Our platform combines open-source tech, smart automation, and clean design to give teams real visibility across their external attack surface. The goal is simple; turn complex exposure into clear, actionable insight anyone can use.
We're a small, focused team who believes security works best when it's transparent, adaptable, and built for the way modern companies actually operate.
Why This Matters
When we looked back at past incidents and “lessons learned,” the same pattern kept showing up: any time there wasn’t a simple framework to identify external issues up front, the effort around response exploded. Teams spent 10x more time explaining why something wasn’t in scope, why there was no program, or why a gap wasn’t tracked, instead of actually fixing the exposure. The board conversation became defensive by default.
With VigilGuard, the goal is to flip that dynamic. External risk isn’t a one-off project or a quarterly spreadsheet; it’s a continuous, lightweight program. EASM gives you an outside-in view of what truly exists, not just what’s in your CMDB. That means you can walk into a review and show a living map of assets, changes, and resolved issues—evidence that the program is working, not just promises that it exists.
Vendors follow the same story. Without a simple, single source of truth, every new vendor becomes a custom one-off: different questionnaires, different expectations, and no consistent way to compare risk. Most platforms overcomplicate this with heavy workflows and dense configuration, which is the opposite of what small, fast teams need. The real need is straightforward: one place where you can see who your vendors are, what they touch, and how risky they are right now.
A practical vendor ITRM flow looks simple on purpose: you invite vendors into a clean portal, ask them the right questions once, collect the basics (security questionnaires, certificates, policies, LLC and ownership info), and keep all of it in one place. From there, you score and categorize them, map each vendor to the systems and data they touch, and push only the right ones into your “approved” stack—your CRM, finance, HR, marketing, or product platforms. As things change, you get updates instead of surprises.
That’s the bar VigilGuard is built around for both external attack surface and vendor risk: less time chasing context, more time making decisions, and a clear narrative you can stand behind when someone asks, “How do we actually know where our risk lives?”
