Continuous Authorization & Monitoring SmartStart

ServiceNow Continuous Monitoring | SmartStart by c1secure

From Point-in-Time to All-the-Time: Achieve Real-Time Compliance with Confidence

In highly regulated environments, ServiceNow continuous monitoring plays a critical role in maintaining authorization beyond the initial ATO. Maintaining that authorization through ServiceNow continuous monitoring, automated evidence collection, and rapid compliance response is what truly safeguards systems, data, and trust.

The Continuous Authorization & Monitoring SmartStart from c1secure is a predefined, accelerated implementation of ServiceNow’s Policy & Compliance and Risk Management modules. It’s configured specifically to support recurring control testing, risk-aware alerting, compliance drift detection, and centralized evidence collection—helping you stay audit-ready, every day.

Whether you’re aiming to maintain an ATO or eliminate manual monthly reporting, this SmartStart modernizes your compliance posture—real-time, automated, and aligned to your security framework.


What’s Included in the c1secure CAM SmartStart?

Control Monitoring Strategy & Baseline Design

We define your Continuous Authorization & Monitoring (CAM) baseline by mapping control families, evidence frequencies, and automation potential to control catalogs such as FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST 800-53.

Automated Evidence Collection Workflows

Configure workflows in ServiceNow to collect evidence on a recurring basis. Supports integration with vulnerability scanners, CM tools, and policy attestations.

Live POAM & Risk Integration

Automatically trigger POAM items or risk records when controls fall out of compliance. Track progress, mitigations, and remediation in real time—no more quarterly catch-up.

Continuous Risk Scoring & Alerts

Establish dynamic risk scoring with threshold-based alerts that trigger escalations, security reviews, or policy-based workflows—keeping your ATO in good standing.

Compliance Drift Detection

Identify when control performance begins to diverge from baseline expectations. Automate response actions based on criticality or regulatory impact.

OSCAL Alignment & Reporting Prep

Structure your control, evidence, and risk data for OSCAL-ready export—streamlining your audit prep and future ATO submissions.


Key Benefits of ServiceNow Continuous Monitoring with c1secure
