End-of-contract data extraction
.During the Subscription Term, ServiceNow will maintain a written Security Program that includes policies, procedures and controls aligned to ISO27001, or a substantially equivalent standard, that includes industry-standard practices designed to protect Customer Data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access as
described in the data security addendum (“DSA”) at https://www.servicenow.com/upgrade-schedules.html.
The terms of the data processing addendum at https://www.servicenow.com/upgrade-schedules.html
(“DPA”) shall apply to ServiceNow’s Processing of Personal Data (as defined in the DPA). Upon written
request by Customer within 45 days after termination or expiration of this Agreement (or termination or
expiration of a Use Authorization), ServiceNow will provide any Customer Data in the Subscription Service
to Customer in ServiceNow’s standard database export format at no additional charge.
End-of-contract process
This Agreement continues until terminated under the terms of this
Agreement. Each party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety either: (i) upon thirty (30) days’ prior writtennotice to the other party, if at the time of notice there are no Use Authorizations in effect; or (ii) upon written notice if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding related to its insolvency, receivership or liquidation that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of its commencement or
an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Either party may terminate a Subscription Service or Professional
Services upon written notice if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or the applicable Use
Authorization for the affected service and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written
notice thereof from the non-breaching party. Professional Services are separately ordered from the Subscription
Service, and are not required for the Subscription Service. A breach by a party of its obligations with respect to
Professional Services shall not by itself constitute a breach by that party of its obligations with respect to the
Subscription Service even if the services are enumerated in the same Use Authorization.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
ServiceNow employs a robust configuration and change management approach, underpinned by a formally documented process that ensures all changes to production environments are controlled and traceable. This process is managed through an internal ServiceNow instance dedicated to tracking all change requests and approvals. Each change request must comprehensively outline the change procedure, associated risks, and detailed back-out plans in case of reversal needs. These requests undergo a stringent review and approval process by the Change Advisory Board (CAB) to ensure compliance with best practices and minimize potential disruptions.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
ServiceNow's vulnerability management approach is meticulously designed to safeguard its private cloud infrastructure, which is custom-built to support its singular application stack. The process begins with a risk-based assessment for each newly published patch to determine its necessity. If deployment is required, ServiceNow integrates the patching process with its formal change management protocol.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
ServiceNow has an implementation of Sourefire for IDS and Splunk for SIEM. The IDS system monitors inbound traffic in the DMZ. Splunk does log collection on network devices, IDS and servers used to support customer information. These systems are monitored with both proactive alerting and regular log files reviews. Events are responded to within 24 hours.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
ServiceNow has a formal documented Security Incident Response policy, process and workflow which aligns with NIST 800-61. ServiceNow Incident Response process includes event discovery, triage, escalation, notification (including customer notification) remediation, and post-mortem review.
