Struggling to align security controls across departments?
The situation this course is for
Information security initiatives often stall at the boundaries between teams, especially when control ownership is diffuse or interpretation varies by unit. Analysts report delays from rework, inconsistent documentation, and misaligned audit expectations across regions.
Who this is for
ServiceNow Business Analysts operating in regulated or multi-region environments who are stepping into broader governance influence
Who this is not for
This is not for implementation engineers focused solely on technical configuration, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews without actionable detail.
What you walk away with
- Translate ISO 27001 control objectives into ServiceNow workflow designs that meet audit standards
- Design repeatable control mappings that teams outside your direct authority adopt willingly
- Produce consistent, auditor-ready documentation across business units
- Lead cross-functional alignment without formal authority using structured frameworks
- Deploy a living implementation playbook that evolves with compliance updates
