You can connect ServiceNow with Prism the Platform. The integration enables you to raise tickets for ServiceNow straight from the platform.

Info

Prism The platform supports the ServiceNow Cloud – IT Service Management – Incidents and utilises the ServiceNow Cloud API.

This is a bidirectional integration, which ensures that data in both ServiceNow and Prism the platform remains synchronised. Once an issue is moved a ‘Done’ or ‘Resolved’ status in ServiceNow, Prism the platform will automatically mark the issue as remediated in Prism the Platform. So there is no need to update the status of issues in two places.

In this article you can find the following information:

  1. Platform Setup

  2. ServiceNow Setup

  3. Export Issues to ServiceNow

  4. ServiceNow Issue Status

  5. Regress Issues

Platform Setup

Step 1: Navigate to Connected Accounts on the Menu.

Step 2: Click on ‘Configuration’ under ServiceNow.

Step 3: Prism The Platform will ask you for the host URL to your ServiceNow subscription, e.g. https://company.servicenow.com/

...

You can then see which issues have been exported to ServiceNow:

ServiceNow Issue Status

Prism The platform provides you with real-time updates of the progress of each issue that has been exported to ServiceNow. You can find a ServiceNow Ticket dialog to the top right-hand corner of the corresponding Issue interface in Prism, which displays the current status of the ServiceNow ticket.

Prism The platform updates issues based on the following supported ServiceNow statues:

ServiceNow Incident State

Description

Prism

Platform Issue Status

The issue is now on hold but still open

Published/Vulnerable

Resolved

Remediated - Unverified

Closed

The issue has been remediated and now closed

Remediated - Unverified

Cancelled

Regress Issues

You can regress items via ServiceNow if the vulnerability status is ‘unverified remediation’.

This means, if issues have been marked as ‘done/resolved’ within ServiceNow by accident, they can be moved back to ‘in progress’, and Prism the platform will be updated.

When a ticked is closed or reopened in ServiceNow, a comment is added to Prism’s respective vulnerability, so you are able to track for auditing and remediation purposes. For example, the comment will refer to the issue being set as remediated via ServiceNow.
