C1 Source-to-Pay Accelerator

Embed Compliance, Risk, and Security Into Every Step of Your Procurement Lifecycle with ServiceNow + c1secure

Today’s procurement teams must balance speed, cost, and supplier innovation with increasing pressure to manage third-party risk, regulatory obligations, and data security requirements.

The C1 Source-to-Pay Accelerator brings structure, automation, and policy-driven governance to your ServiceNow S2P process—bridging the gap between sourcing, vendor onboarding, and risk/compliance validation.

From intake to invoice, this accelerator ensures every vendor decision is risk-informed, policy-compliant, and audit-ready—without slowing down your procurement velocity.

Key Features

Risk-Aware Intake and Vendor Profiling

  • Integrates with ServiceNow’s Procurement, Vendor Management, and Third Party Risk modules.
  • Dynamically assigns risk tiering, data classification, and regulatory flags during vendor intake.

Automated Pre-Contract Risk Assessments

  • Triggers security, compliance, legal, and financial evaluations based on vendor type and service category.
  • Supports AI-driven recommendations for due diligence depth, documentation, and evidence collection.

Policy Enforcement at Key S2P Milestones

    • Contract review and approval
    • Regulatory alignment (e.g., HIPAA, CMMC, GDPR, ESG)

Workflow Integration with TPRM and IRM

  • Maps risk assessments and findings directly to vendor records and sourcing decisions.
  • Maintains traceability of risks and control gaps throughout the vendor lifecycle.
