Why ServiceNow security

The risks ServiceNow won't fix for you.

Misconfigured ACLs

Access-control rules that are too broad — or missing — quietly expose records and tables to users and guests who shouldn't see them.

Over-broad roles

admin and security_admin handed out widely, plus role inheritance no one audits, grant far more than anyone intends.

Insecure scripts & integrations

Business rules, script includes and integration accounts with stored credentials become the path attackers actually take.

ServiceNow configuration drifts every day. WoneShield re-checks continuously, so a clean state stays clean.

Product + expertise

Automated posture plus specialists who assess, plan, harden and monitor — not a scanner you're left to interpret.

Audit-ready

FAQ

ServiceNow security, answered.

Is ServiceNow secure out of the box?+

ServiceNow secures the platform; your ACLs, roles, scripts, public pages and integrations are your responsibility — and they're where ServiceNow data exposure happens. WoneShield secures that layer continuously.

How is this different from ServiceNow Instance Scan?+

Instance Scan checks configuration against rules you maintain. WoneShield adds continuous, expert-driven assessment of ACLs, roles, scripts and integrations mapped to a security baseline, with remediation support.

Do you assess ACLs and scripts?+

Yes — misconfigured ACLs and insecure business-rule scripts are core to every assessment, including over-broad roles and risky integration accounts.

Is it agentless?+

Yes — read-first, least-privilege API access. No agents on your instance.

How much does ServiceNow security cost?+

Begin with a free ServiceNow security assessment. Ongoing protection starts at $750/month via WoneShield Posture, with custom pricing for large or multi-instance estates.
