Upguard

UpGuard is an integrated risk platform with capabilities for third-party security ratings, security assessment questionnaires, and vendor risk management.

The Relyance Upguard integration helps with a) understanding the vendors stored in Upguard and b) syncing vendor statuses in Upguard with Relyance. It currently only supports syncing statuses with custom fields in Upguard.

In order to integrate Upguard with Relyance AI, you will need an API Key.

In Upguard:

You'll need first to create an API Key.

1. Login to your Upguard account.

2. Click on the Settings option under Account.

3. Navigate to the API tab and create a new API key for Relyance. You will need this API key in the Relyance configuration.

In the Relyance AI application:

1. Login to your Relyance account.
2. Navigate to the Settings (bottom-left corner).
3. Select Integrations.
4. Search and locate the Upguard integration card and click on it.
5. Click on the Add Connection button on the top right
6. Provide a meaningful name for the integration and click on the Add button
7. In the Overview section, select the integration features you wish to enable for the integration, review the Scope and Permission, and Endpoint details and click on Continue. For more details, see Integration Features
8. In the Connection section, provide the appropriate values and click on Continue,

9. In the Authentication section, provide the API Key and to configure Relyance to sync vendor statuses, click on the "Vendor Status map" to edit the JSON.

   • For *status_field_name,*input the custom field name in Upguard that tracks vendor status.
   • For status_map, input the status values from Upguard against the four status values in Relyance: active, terminated, onboarding, and offboarding. Relyance will use these values from Upguard to match statuses.
   • If there are any status values you want Relyance to ignore, specify them in the ignore section.

   

   

10. Review the configuration summary from the Completion section and click on Finish.

11. Confirm the integration Status reflects Connected

The Authentication step asks for:

• API Key: required; held as a secret.

Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the Relyance Terraform provider. Non-secret fields go in auth.params; secret fields go in auth.secrets_wo, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping auth.secrets_wo_version.

resource "relyance_integration_connection" "upguard" {
  vendor = "upguard"
  name   = "<your connection name>"

  auth = {
    method = "api-key"
    params = {
      data_storage_location = "us"
    }
    # Secret fields are write-only: sent to Relyance, never stored in state.
    secrets_wo = {
      api_key = var.upguard_api_key
    }
    secrets_wo_version = 1
  }

  scans = { "vendor-discovery" = { enabled = true } }
