Why manage risk with ServiceNow?

ServiceNow provides a platform to implement integrated governance, risk & compliance. Bring individual risk management areas together and bring risk management directly to the workplace!

Risk managers, service owners, architects, and system engineers are responsible for risk management and must integrate assessments and reviews into their daily work processes. ServiceNow helps them with consistent and efficient processes. All processes are supported by integrable risk frameworks such as SOX, ISO 31000, COSO ERM, NIST RFM or BSI standard 100-2. ServiceNow offers you:

  • the development of a risk management system with existing risk frameworks and risk management processes
  • a qualitative and quantitative risk assessment for inherent and residual risk
  • automated risk assessments through indicators and compliance controls
  • recording risk events and integrating vulnerability response
  • Workflows — handing over tasks to process the various tasks with assignment and schedule
  • a graphical and task overview of the status of assessments
  • Up-to-date reporting for risk managers and senior management

individual requirements

Your individual requirements in terms of compliance, identity management (roles and rights) and business-driven risk definitions can be mapped with ServiceNow's GRC module. At the push of a button, you can “match” the regulations relevant to you and create reports on the activities of various employees and all measures taken at any time. These can be retrieved and verified at any time — even by external auditors.

audit security

With ServiceNow's GRC module, you have audit-proof documentation. In addition, the system provides preparations for audits (repeatable). In the area of IT risk management, ServiceNow offers you real added value and drastically reduces your expenses!

Jump-start for regulations

  • Jump-start the implementation of a wide range of regulations/standards/frameworks, such as SOX, NIST RMF, NIST CSF, and more that can be added
  • Using an interface, it is possible to integrate start-up aids for the German market, e.g. Cobit, and, if necessary, to maintain audits or compliance requirements for two “different” bases (e.g. SOX and Cobit).
