Securing ServiceNow
A CISO's Guide to Platform Hardening, API Defense, and EU Compliance
Securing ServiceNow is a field guide for CISOs and platform owners navigating the shared responsibility gap. While ServiceNow secures the platform, customers own configuration — and that’s where most risk lives. This book shows how to close that gap with real attack paths, hardening decisions, and evidence aligned to NIS2 Directive, Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and ISO/IEC 27001 — delivering the completeness enterprise tools don’t.

About the Book
Securing ServiceNow is a practitioner’s field guide to one of the most overlooked attack surfaces in modern enterprises: ServiceNow configuration security.
While ServiceNow secures the platform, customers own the configuration — and that’s where most risk, audit failure, and regulatory exposure lives. This book focuses on closing that gap.
Written for CISOs, security architects, and platform owners, it moves beyond best practices to cover real attack paths, API exposure, access control failures, and evidence gaps. It also maps technical realities to NIS2 Directive, Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and ISO/IEC 27001 expectations.
Each chapter answers three questions: what to fix, what to monitor, and what to prove.
