C1 SmartStart for Advanced Risk Management
From Static Risk Registers to Real-Time, Actionable Risk Intelligence.
C1 SmartStart for Advanced Risk Management accelerates the deployment of ServiceNow’s Risk & Advanced Risk capabilities—transforming fragmented, spreadsheet-based risk processes into a unified, dynamic, and intelligence-driven program. Organizations gain a standardized taxonomy, automated scoring, quantitative modeling options, and cross-module correlation that turns risk into an operational decision engine.
Key Benefits
- Centralized enterprise risk register across all domains
- Standardized taxonomy + consistent scoring methodology
- Real-time inherent, residual, and target risk calculation
- Automated triggers from audit, VRM, SecOps, BCM, and ConMon
- FAIR-ready quantitative modeling
- Cross-module correlation for holistic risk intelligence
- KRIs that surface emerging risks automatically
- Executive-ready heat maps and trend dashboards
Why This SmartStart Matters
Traditional risk programs rely on static registers, inconsistent scoring, and disconnected assessments—producing incomplete visibility and limited decision-making value.
SmartStart changes that.
C1Secure deploys a standardized, scalable risk framework inside ServiceNow that unifies taxonomy, enables qualitative and quantitative scoring, automates intake triggers, and operationalizes risk ownership. Each risk is automatically correlated to controls, issues, findings, vendors, assets, vulnerabilities, and policies—creating true enterprise risk intelligence.
Executives gain a real-time view of exposure, trending scenarios, KRI breaches, and domain-based heat maps, while operational teams work from structured remediation workflows that improve overall risk posture. This SmartStart lays the groundwork for a mature, proactive ERM program built on continuous monitoring and measurable outcomes.
Capabilities
Enterprise Risk Taxonomy & KRIs
Unified structure for strategic, operational, cyber, compliance, financial, and technology risks.
Standardized Risk Register
Ownership, lifecycle workflows, domain alignment, and consistent data models.
Qualitative + Quantitative Scoring (FAIR-Ready)
Supports inherent, residual, and target risk; FAIR optional for dollar-value quantification.
Automated Risk Intake & Triggers
Risks automatically generated from audit findings, VRM results, SecOps, ConMon alerts, and policy exceptions.
Cross-Module Correlation
Connect risks to controls, issues, vendors, assets, vulnerabilities, findings, and business services.
Scenario Modeling & Trending Analytics
Understand risk trajectory, drivers, and impact conditions.
Executive Risk Dashboards
Heat maps, exposure by unit or domain, trend charts, and mitigation status.
Integrated Remediation Workflows
Link mitigation plans to issues, tasks, and validation steps.
How It Works
- Establish unified taxonomy & scoring model
- Deploy standardized risk register & ownership lifecycle
- Configure inherent/residual/target scoring + FAIR(Optional)
- Build automated triggers for emerging risks
- Enable cross-module correlation (Audit, SecOps, VRM, IRM)
- Deploy heat maps, KRI dashboards, & trend analytics
- Train teams and transition to operational governance
Who It’s For
- Chief Risk Officers
- CISOs & Cyber Risk Leaders
- ERM / Operational Risk Teams
