Vulnerability Response SmartStart

Powered by ServiceNow | Delivered by c1secure

ServiceNow vulnerability response empowers security teams to turn endless scanner data into risk-based action.

Modern security teams drown in scanner data. ServiceNow vulnerability response changes that paradigm by adding automation, asset context, and risk alignment. Consequently, you patch what truly matters and prove it to auditors—all from one platform.

The c1secure Vulnerability Response SmartStart accelerates your rollout of ServiceNow’s VR module. It converts raw findings into risk-informed, business-aligned workflows that unite Security, IT, and Compliance. Learn more on the ServiceNow VR product page.

What’s included in the ServiceNow Vulnerability Response SmartStart?

  1. Vulnerability Intake & Source Integration
    We connect Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7, and more; normalize data; and enrich findings with CVE/CVSS, asset metadata, exploit intel, and business-service impact.
  2. Risk-Based Prioritization & Assignment
    Beyond CVSS, our scoring models weigh asset criticality, compliance exposure, and known exploits. Therefore, high-risk items route automatically to the right team with the right urgency.
  3. Automated Remediation Workflow
    Assignment rules, approvals, change requests, and SLA timers keep remediation on track. Each vulnerability links to CI records, incidents, or change tickets—so you retain full traceability.
  4. Exception & Deviation Management
    Can’t patch today? Use built-in exception flows with risk acceptance, expiry dates, and compensating controls. Auditors see decisions—not excuses.
  5. Dashboards & Reporting
    Security Ops, IT Ops, Risk, and Compliance each get tailored, real-time views: open vulns by severity, SLA status, MTTR trends, and more.

ServiceNow implementation highlights

  • Connected to your CMDB & Risk Engine — vulnerabilities tie directly to business services, so priorities follow business impact, not scanner noise.
  • Automation-ready remediation — the configuration prepares you for orchestration with patch tools and config managers, reducing MTTR even further.
  • Compliance alignment — every action maps to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, or FedRAMP controls, and is logged automatically.
  • SecOps, IRM, and ITSM integration — link vulns to security incidents, risk records, POAM items, and control failures for a single source of truth.
