End-of-contract data extraction
The process for the return of data follows: 1) ServiceNow
exports the entire database in a MySQL format. 2) ServiceNow
provides the customer a set of instructions on how to import the
data on the customer's side. 3) The customer can FTP the files
from ServiceNow to their site. Customers are permitted to store
data hosted within ServiceNow for the duration of their service
subscription with ServiceNow. Under this model, the customer
can purge or retain data according to their own retention policy.
ServiceNow retains customer data for up to 45 days from the
end of a contract. Within the 45 days, the customer can request
their data to be sent to them in a standard database export
format. After 45 days, all data from the customer instances is
removed from ServiceNow servers
End-of-contract process
ServiceNow has several options for an exit management plan. At
least thirty (30) days prior to either the expiration of the
Subscription Term (where the customer elects not to renew) or
in connection with the termination by the customer of the
Subscription Service in accordance with ServiceNow's General
Terms and Conditions, the customer may purchase the
following services: (i) one (1) extension of the Subscription
Service for up to six (6) months ("Transition Subscription
Service"); and (ii) Professional Services. The customer pays in
advance for the Transition Subscription Service at the monthly
subscription fee rate charged to the customer in the expiring
Order Form plus an additional ten percent (10%). The customer
pre-pays for any Professional Services ordered during the
transition period plus verifiable travel and expenses. The parties
sign a mutually agreed upon Order Form setting forth the fees
and purchased Subscription Service and Professional Services
prior to the commencement of any Transition Subscription
Service or Professional Services. ServiceNow can provide
customer data in its standard database export format.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
ServiceNow provides 99.8% availability (calculated monthly) for production instances. This design includes redundancy and fault tolerance of the entire ServiceNow application and platform stack, including electrical, cooling, network, security, and server infrastructure. Over the last 3 years (2014-2016), we have averaged 99.995% availability and have not fallen below 99.8% (contract SLA) in any quarter. In 2016 we averaged 99.996% and did not fall below 99.8% in any quarter.
Approach to resilience
ServiceNow’s data centers are arranged in pairs. All customer production data is stored in both data centers and kept in sync using asynchronous database replication. Both data centers are active at all times, each with the ability to support the combined production load of the pair. A production instance from one customer may be operating out of one data center in the pair and a production instance of another customer from the other.
More details available on request
ServiceNow maintains continuous, asynchronous replication from the database in the current primary data center (read-write) to the secondary data center (read-only). To transfer a customer instance from a primary data center to a secondary, ServiceNow designates the secondary to be the primary and the primary to be the secondary if it still exists.
ServiceNow’s data centers and cloud-based infrastructure have been designed to be highly available. All servers and network devices have redundant components and multiple diverse network paths to avoid single points of failure.
Outage reporting
ServiceNow have a customer portal where all requests, changes and incidents can be logged. Customers also now have complete transparency into the real availability of their production and non-production instances. Users can view the impact severity of issues and even drill into incident records to view details for problems. It is this level of transparency that further sets ServiceNow apart.

CSA STAR certification level
Level 1: CSA STAR Self-Assessment
What the CSA STAR doesn’t cover
ServiceNow has completed a version of the CSA CCM
document internally as well as the self-assessment, to make the
document more informative however it contains information
that is only able to be shared under the protection of an NDA.
CSA STAR certification: The CSA STAR certification is
effectively an ISO 27001 audit and certification process.
ServiceNow is already an ISO 27001 certified organisation and
will not repeat the exercise to be certified with a second nearly
identical certification program due to the significant cost of this
type of program. ServiceNow can share its ISO 27001
certificate as evidence of its certification status. CSA STAR
attestation: The CSA STAR attestation program is effectively
the same as an SSAE 16 Type II SOC2. ServiceNow holds an
SSAE 16 Type I SOC , SSAE 16 Type II SOC1 and an SSAE 16 Type
II SOC2 and therefore does not plan to undergo the CSA STAR
attestation. As with the certification program ServiceNow will
not attempt to undergo this program as it already holds this
attestation and the cost of undergoing the audit process does
not make sense due to the cost in running this audit process.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
ServiceNow has a formally documented change management process that uses an internal ServiceNow instance to track change requests and approvals. All changes to production environments must go through the change management process. Change requests must include the change procedure, risk, and back out plans. Change requests are reviewed and approved by the Change Advisory Board (CAB). All assets are tagged and tracked though the ServiceNow CMDB.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
ServiceNow's Infrastructure stack is customized at each layer to specifically support the only application residing in the ServiceNow private cloud. With the small footprint of technology required and the limited ports and services enabled, many system and security patches published do not apply to the private cloud's systems. With each published patch, ServiceNow follows a risk-based approach to determine if the patch is to be deployed. Once it is determined that a patch needs to be deployed, the process then follows the Change Management process to identify the assets, the risk and potential impact.

Further details are available on request.
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's documented Security Incident Response policy,
process and workflow aligns with NIST 800-61. ServiceNow
Incident Response process includes event discovery, triage,
escalation, notification (including customer notification)
remediation, and post-mortem review.
