What was done

  • Hero: instead of the generic "Take control of third-party cyber risk" - a category claim about end-to-end workflow, freemium, and transparent pricing.
  • Primary CTA: "Get your free vendor portfolio snapshot" - a real PLG entry point. Previously, two buttons led to the same sales form.
  • Product fragment under the hero: a dashboard preview with a risk score and trend - it's immediately clear that this is a working product, not just a landing page.
  • Pain → outcomes → quote: 4 familiar pains, 3 numerical customer results, and one named CISO quote in a dedicated dark block.
  • Pick your starting point: 3 paths for 3 roles - freemium for TPRM, demo for CISO, /why-upguard for the buying committee.

Why this way

  • Three screens answer three questions for the champion-TPRM: "Is this about my use case?""Does it work?""Am I ready to try it?"
  • Bitsight already uses the pattern with a PLG button in the hero. UpGuard already has the infrastructure - Instant Score, Webscan, Reports - but it's hidden in the footer.
  • "Pick your starting point" resolves the conflict between PLG and enterprise sales: each role gets its own CTA, the sales funnel remains for the CISO, and freemium is for the TPRM team.
  • The dark block with the quote is a visual pause and the only high-contrast element on the page, so it captures the eye.

The case

4 reasons UpGuard wins

01
End-to-end workflow

Onboarding → questionnaires → monitoring → remediation → reporting on a single platform. Competitors sell ratings + separate modules.

Proof: G2 reviews, customer quote (TPRM lead)

02
Real freemium + transparent pricing

5 vendors free + Trust Exchange free. $1,599/mo publicly. All 4 main competitors have: 'contact sales'.

Proof: pricing page link, comparison table

03
Time-to-value

Implementation in days, not months. Best-in-class onboarding according to G2.

Proof: St John WA case (2,000 hours), customer quote

04
G2 #1 in TPRM - 15 quarters in a row

4.5 / 383 reviews. The closest, Bitsight: 4.6 / 44 reviews.

Proof: G2 badges, review excerpts

Book demoTry free for 5 vendorsDownload PDF summary

What was done

  • Hero: a single headline about the 4 reasons + a dual CTA (Book demo / Download PDF) for the champion and the committee.
  • 4 reasons UpGuard wins: the main argument is highlighted in a dark accent block - end-to-end workflow, real freemium, time-to-value, G2 #1.
  • Why we win vs each competitor: 4 breakdowns (Bitsight, SecurityScorecard, Black Kite, RiskRecon) - in an accordion format, without a heavy table.
  • 3 sections for roles: CISO, SecOps, Procurement / Legal - each with its own set of arguments.
  • Customer proof + compliance: a quote from the NYSE CISO, 3 case cards, certifications in a single line.
  • Final CTAs: three paths - demo, freemium, PDF - so the champion can send the committee any suitable format.

Why this way

  • Today, the champion-TPRM re-tells the product page in Slack for the CISO and spends 30-60 minutes on it. /why-upguard replaces the re-telling with a link: "check out the section for the CISO".
  • One page works for the entire buying committee: CISO, SecOps, Procurement, Legal. Each role finds their section in 30 seconds.
  • The competitor section eliminates the need for sales to have separate battle cards in Slack: the answers to "how are you better than Bitsight?" are already on the page.
  • The PDF export is needed for procurement and security-review processes, where a document needs to be attached to the request.
Asset bundle

The champion-TPRM arrives at the refactored /product/vendor-risk, recognizes their situation, and books a demo or freemium. Before the demo, they share /why-upguard with the CISO, SecOps, and Procurement. The buying committee reads a unified story - sales closes the deal.

These are not two separate documents, but a single bundle: the first one catches the champion, the second one closes the committee.
