C1 Authoritative Source Mapper

Map Regulatory Citations to Policies, Controls, and Risks with Confidence and Clarity in ServiceNow IRM

Regulations, laws, and frameworks are constantly evolving—but many organizations still struggle to trace the origin of their controls, the rationale behind their policies, or the justification for their risk response strategies.

The C1 Authoritative Source Mapper provides an intelligent, ServiceNow-native solution that automates the mapping of authority documents and regulatory citations to your control objectives, policies, risk statements, and procedures.

Whether you’re aligning to FedRAMP, CMMC, PCI, HIPAA, ISO, or ESG regulations, this app ensures your compliance posture is fully traceable, rationalized, and audit-ready—with zero spreadsheets required.
