What does ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management do?
ServiceNow is led by Bill McDermott. ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management is a ServiceNow product.
Evidence collection
Available · ServiceNow's use-case guide says IRM can automatically collect evidence, assign tasks, and streamline audits; the current product page also says it centralizes audit evidence.
Auditor workspace
Partial · Audit Management provides a workspace for engagements, control tests, tasks, evidence requests, and findings.
Scope and limits
Audit Management provides a workspace for engagements, control tests, tasks, evidence requests, and findings. Public documentation is centered on internal audit teams and does not establish a purpose-built external CPA portal or a frictionless auditor handoff.
Continuous control testing
Available · The current IRM page says AI agents continuously assess controls and that the platform automates control testing; it does not publish a universal execution interval.
Multi-framework support
Partial · Policy and Compliance Management maps authoritative sources to policies, controls, and risks, with UCF integration available.
Scope and limits
Policy and Compliance Management maps authoritative sources to policies, controls, and risks, with UCF integration available. SOC 2 therefore uses a mapped, configurable control model rather than an established native SOC 2 point-product workflow.
How much does ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management cost?
ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management does not publish prices. Your price depends on plan scope, headcount, services, and contract term.
Ask for the first-year total, renewal cap, implementation charge, required add-ons, and separate audit fee in writing.

The CPA firm
