Network Frontiers Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) integrates with your ServiceNow instance through an authentication process that validates your
subscription. On the UCF Configuration form, you select the type of authentication, and then enter
a UCF-provided API key or a ServiceNow -- provided Oauth2 client and
secret.  
Important:  
Introduced in Kingston, UCF integration using the ServiceNow-provided Oauth client and the UCF Common Controls Hub is still supported; however, it is no longer the recommended method for integrating your instance with UCF. The preferred method is to configure the UCF integration using a UCF-supplied API key (see link below).
* **[Activate Compliance UCF](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Nblqjx2WZ7MAyQwv6yujAw)**   
  The GRC: Compliance UCF (com.sn_comp_ucf) plugin is available as a separate subscription.
* **[Configure the UCF integration using a UCF-supplied API key](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/K65bO3st0Lqn~oDfg5wNFw)**   
  UCF integrates with your ServiceNow instance through an authentication process which validates your subscription.

  Compliance administrators can download content from Network Frontiers Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) to use as GRC authority documents, citations, controls, and control objectives.
