Monitor Interactions Between Policy and Compliance and Security Operations Configuration Compliance

It can be difficult to ensure information flows between the team managing security compliance and those managing overall policy and compliance for the organization. With ServiceNow you can establish continuous monitoring between the two areas.

Cask helps map policy statements or controls directly to configuration tests, generating profiles and related indicators to specific configuration tests. We also integrate scan results from third-party applications (like Qualys) and help validate and monitor your compliance, managing risks against established authority documents.

ServiceNow can automatically generate issues whenever configuration test scans produce a failure result, and close automatically once subsequent scans indicate successful remediation.
