Hi @SandeepKSingh 

 

1. Tables that go beyond the sn_grc_item (Item) Table in ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC):

The sn_grc_item table is a central table used to track GRC items, but other tables extend or work in conjunction with it. Some key related tables include:

  • sn_grc_profile: Stores GRC profiles, which are entities against which controls and risks are evaluated (e.g., departments, assets, locations).
  • sn_grc_control: Stores the controls associated with managing risks.
  • sn_grc_risk: Stores risks and their details.
  • sn_grc_risk_statement: Contains predefined risk statements that help define risks.
  • sn_grc_policy_statement: Holds policy statements which link to controls and risks.
  • sn_grc_authority_document: Stores external regulations, policies, or frameworks that drive GRC activities (authority documents).
  • sn_grc_citation: Citations or references related to authority documents, policies, or controls.
  • sn_grc_control_test_definition: Holds control test definitions used for assessing controls.
  • sn_grc_issue: Tracks issues identified in the GRC processes, including audit findings or risk issues.

2. Roles with the ability to create Profile Types, Profile Classes, and Profiles:

In ServiceNow GRC, only users with specific roles can create Profile Types, Profile Classes, and Profiles:

  • grc_profile_manager: This role allows users to manage profiles, including the creation of Profile Types, Profile Classes, and Profiles.
  • grc_admin: The GRC admin role has full control over the GRC application and includes all capabilities, including managing profiles.

3. Roles able to access Citations and Authority Documents:

Access to Citations and Authority Documents in ServiceNow GRC is controlled by specific roles:

  • grc_author: This role allows users to create and edit authority documents and citations.
  • grc_user: General GRC users can view authority documents and citations but may not be able to edit them.
  • grc_admin: This role has full access to all GRC-related data, including the ability to manage and modify authority documents and citations.

These roles help ensure proper management of regulatory requirements and compliance documentation within the GRC framework.
