How can ServiceNow support compliance audits in terms of vulnerabilities?

Maintaining detailed records and logs of vulnerability management activities is crucial for supporting compliance audits. ServiceNow provides comprehensive tracking and documentation of all actions taken in response to identified vulnerabilities. This includes details such as time frames for remediation, updates on the status of vulnerabilities, and interactions with stakeholders involved in the remediation process.

These records can be reviewed during compliance audits to demonstrate that the organization is actively managing vulnerabilities and adhering to regulatory requirements. This documentation not only aids in proving compliance but also helps organizations identify patterns, assess the effectiveness of their vulnerability management strategies, and ensure that their processes are compliant with industry standards.

The other options do not effectively support compliance audits. Avoiding transparency would hinder the ability to provide necessary information during audits. While conducting compliance training is beneficial for staff knowledge, it doesn't directly impact the audit process itself. Using third-party compliance tools may help, but the lack of internal record-keeping wouldn't provide the direct documentation needed for most compliance audits. Thus, the focus on maintaining detailed records through ServiceNow is the most relevant and effective method for supporting compliance audits regarding vulnerabilities.
