The ServiceNow® Continuous Authorization and Monitoring (CAM) application helps government agencies, contractors, and high-security organizations make it easier to follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) risk management framework. It supports standards like the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 31000. CAM drives digital transformation across the entire risk management lifecycle. This results in reduced manual effort, improved collaboration across teams, and seamless adaptation to specific processes. The application automates numerous tasks, including authorization, boundary management, impact assessments, system categorization, control implementation, audits, plans of action, artifact management, attestations, continuous monitoring, and ongoing authorization.
