Why This SmartStart Matters
Most organizations run policy and compliance programs through PDFs, emails, and outdated spreadsheets. There’s no ownership, no traceability, and no consistent way to connect policies with controls, risks, or evidence.
SmartStart for Policy & Compliance Management solves that.
C1Secure deploys a complete governance ecosystem inside ServiceNow, including lifecycle workflows, a customized control library, regulatory mappings, attestation cycles, and issue/exception workflows. Dashboards deliver real-time visibility into posture, overdue items, and framework coverage.
Organizations gain a modern compliance backbone—audit-ready, scalable, and aligned to frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOX.
