Application Vulnerability Response SmartStart
Powered by ServiceNow | Delivered by c1secure
With Integrated DevSecOps and Developer Collaboration
Shift Security Left. Align AppSec with DevOps. Automate Secure Development Workflows.
Modern software development moves fast—but traditional security processes can’t keep up. Vulnerabilities are often discovered late, remediation is disconnected from development pipelines, and developers lack the context or tools to fix issues efficiently.
The c1secure Application Vulnerability Response (AVR) SmartStart is a predefined, accelerated implementation of ServiceNow’s AVR module, fully integrated with your DevOps toolchain. It connects application security scanning tools with development workflows, enabling real-time visibility, risk-based prioritization, and developer-friendly remediation paths—without slowing delivery.
This SmartStart empowers security and development teams to work together—securely, efficiently, and in sync.
What’s Included in the SmartStart?
DevOps & Code Scanner Integration
c1secure connects AVR with static (SAST), dynamic (DAST), software composition (SCA), and container security tools such as Veracode, SonarQube, Checkmarx, GitHub Advanced Security, Snyk, and others—bringing vulnerabilities into ServiceNow with full traceability.
Risk-Based Vulnerability Prioritization
We implement scoring models that factor in exploitability, app criticality, CVSS score, data sensitivity, and regulatory impact—so security teams can focus remediation efforts where it matters most.
Developer Workflow Automation
Vulnerabilities are automatically routed to the right developer teams through integrated systems like Jira, Azure DevOps, or GitHub Issues. We configure ticket creation, assignment, and status sync—eliminating manual handoffs and delays.
Secure SDLC Visibility
ServiceNow dashboards show security posture across applications, releases, repos, and dev teams. Developers, AppSec engineers, and product owners share a single source of truth to track, triage, and resolve vulnerabilities.
Exception Handling & Risk Acceptance
We enable structured workflows for false positives, business-justified exceptions, and compensating controls—ensuring audit readiness and risk accountability across your application stack.
ServiceNow Implementation Highlights
End-to-End DevSecOps Integration
Your vulnerability data flows seamlessly from code scans into remediation tasks and dashboards—creating a live connection between security findings and developer actions.
Application-Centric Dashboards
Gain insights into your most vulnerable apps, aging defects, backlog trends, and developer response time. Dashboards are tailored for AppSec teams, developers, and engineering leadership.
Workflow-Driven Automation
Eliminate email threads and manual data entry. Let ServiceNow AVR automatically prioritize, assign, escalate, and track remediation work—so you reduce mean time to remediate (MTTR) without disrupting delivery cycles.
Built-In Compliance & Audit Logging
Every decision, action, exception, and closure is documented and tied to specific repos, scan results, and remediation activity—supporting ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, CMMC, and more.
Why Choose c1secure?
c1secure combines deep expertise in AppSec, DevOps, and ServiceNow SecOps to deliver a solution that is as developer-friendly as it is security-rigorous. Our approach ensures that security becomes part of the development culture—not a blocker to delivery.
