C1 Control Attestation Engine

Drive Accountability and Strengthen Compliance with Centralized Control Attestation in ServiceNow IRM

Knowing which controls are in place is one thing—knowing they’re actively owned, operating as intended, and regularly reviewed is another.

The C1 Control Attestation Engine enables organizations to automate and standardize how control owners attest to the design, implementation, and effectiveness of controls across systems, frameworks, and regulatory requirements—all within ServiceNow IRM.

Built to reinforce accountability and enhance audit readiness, this solution ensures you never lose sight of who owns which control, how it’s being managed, and whether it’s performing as expected.
