ServiceNow ITSM integration

If you have ServiceNow ITSM access, you can use this integration to import SecurityScorecard data into your ServiceNow instance.

This allows your IT and cybersecurity teams to view findings and scores directly in ServiceNow and use automation rules to respond to new findings and score changes more quickly.

This integration is designed for self-monitoring and collects data for your organization’s domain as it appears in your Scorecard.

Prerequisites

Before setting up, make sure you:

• Have the x_sesri_ssc_itsm.admin role in ServiceNow ITSM.
• Create a SecurityScorecard bot user with an API token so ServiceNow can access your data. 

Set up the integration

For detailed setup instructions, see the integration listing in the ServiceNow store.

1. In ServiceNow, go to All under System Applications. 
2. Search for SecurityScorecard.
3. Select Install next to SecurityScorecard for IT Service Management.
4. After installation, open SecurityScorecard for ITSM from the left pane or search for it.
5. Select Settings under Application Setup. 
6. Enter your organization's domain as it appears in your Scorecard (for example, securityscorecardcsm.com).
   
    
7. Enter the API token you created with your SecurityScorecard bot user.  
8. Select Save. 

ServiceNow ITSM imports your Scorecard data within a few minutes.
