  • The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Dashboard provides a single pane glass view of end-to-end security operations.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_ciso_dashboard.admin, sn_ciso_dashboard.user

    Note:
    The CISO Dashboard application is free from the ServiceNow Store. However, the contents of the dashboard require professional entitlements to the following applications:
    • Security Operations (SecOps)
    • Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)
    These professional entitlements include a license for Platform Analytics.

    These solutions consist of Platform Analytics indicators and associated data collection jobs, used by the metrics on the CISO Dashboard. If you don’t have the prerequisite licenses, the installation proceeds. However, without the required plugins (found in the application manager) and applications (found in the ServiceNow store) and the underlying data, the dashboard won’t show any relevant metrics. If you have any questions about your licensing and entitlements, consult your account executive.

    Plugin: com.snc.vulnerability.analytics.

    Applications:
    • sn_sir_analytics
    • sn_vul_analytics
    • sn_grc_pa_advanced
    • sn_vulc_analytics
