The Challenge of ServiceNow Governance Gaps in Life Sciences


Life sciences organizations depend on ServiceNow for research workflows, patient safety processes, and validated system operations. But manual change controls, privilege sprawl, instance drift, and after-the-fact compliance checks create unacceptable audit and FDA exposure. In this industry, every delay slows research, and every gap risks a finding.

16% of organizations give developers full production admin rights, creating severe compliance and security risk
75% reduction in audit preparation time and 5× faster deployments achieved with technical governance
Why Governance Is Mission-Critical in Healthcare, Pharma & Life Sciences
Life sciences teams operate under some of the strictest regulations anywhere. When ServiceNow powers clinical trials, adverse event reporting, or patient workflows, traditional governance quickly becomes a liability.
A native governance model is essential to:
- Maintain validated status
- Meet FDA, HIPAA, ISO, GxP requirements
- Remove delays that slow research
- Shift from firefighting to controlled, scalable delivery
- Produce audit-ready evidence automatically
