ServiceNow GRC Training
Manage risk and compliance on ServiceNow. Policy and compliance, risk management, controls, audit and continuous monitoring, the Integrated Risk Management suite.
ServiceNow GRC/IRM (Governance, Risk and Compliance, Now Integrated Risk Management) training teaches you to manage policy and compliance, risk, controls, audits and continuous monitoring on the Now Platform, aligned to the CIS-Risk and Compliance certification.
Who this course is for
Prerequisite: Basic administration. GRC and IRM concepts are introduced, so a risk or audit background helps but is not required.
What makes this different
You build, not just watch
From the first session you are on your own developer instance, configuring, scripting and breaking things safely. That is what makes it stick.
Taught on the current release
No outdated screenshots. Everything maps to the release ServiceNow runs today, including current AI and platform features.
One trainer who still implements
One working consultant for the whole batch, no rotation, so the teaching is consistent and grounded in real projects.
Support continues to the offer
Resume review, mock interviews on real scenario questions, and referrals. Support does not stop when the last class ends.
Curriculum
5 modules and 3 projects, updated to the current release. Every module maps to real GRC work and expands into its full topic list, practised on a live developer instance.

Continuous monitoring
Set up an indicator that automatically tests a control and raises a finding on failure.
Certification and hands-on
Every session runs on a real ServiceNow developer instance, so you configure and build rather than watch. The course maps to the CIS-Risk and Compliance exam and finishes with an IT Canvass certificate plus a certification roadmap. The CIS-Risk and Compliance exam costs US$300 (ServiceNow University, 2026). IT Canvass does not issue the official ServiceNow credential.
ServiceNow has an official certification catalog with four tiers: Expert (Certified Technical Architect, Certified Master Architect), Mainline (Certified System Administrator, Certified Application Developer, Certified Application Specialist and the Certified Implementation Specialist product tracks), Micro-Certifications (focused product skills such as Now Assist, Flow Designer and CMDB), and Suite Certifications (bundled credentials such as the ITSM and CSM Professional suites).

How IT Canvass compares
Against a typical training provider, this GRC course is taught on the current ServiceNow release, gives you your own developer instance from day one, and keeps one working consultant for the whole batch instead of rotating trainers. Every module is mapped to the CIS-Risk and Compliance exam, sessions are recorded with lifetime access, and job support (resume review, mock interviews and referrals) is included in one transparent fee. Most providers still teach older release material, run slide-first sessions with limited lab time, and bill support and recordings as add-ons.
Fees and training modes
Choose how you want to learn GRC. No-cost EMI available on all modes.
Interactive live batches, weekday or weekend, with the full cohort and lifetime recordings.
Private one-on-one coaching at your pace, whether you need interview-ready fast or hands-on help with your current project.
Learn on your own time with recorded sessions, labs and Q&A doubt support.
Train your team on GRC
Tailored curriculum, flexible scheduling, a dedicated ServiceNow architect, and progress reporting for your managers. Delivered live online or on-site for cohorts of any size.
Your trainer
Neelima, ServiceNow Architect, 12+ years
I still deliver ITSM, ITOM and HRSD implementations for enterprise clients, so I teach from what is breaking in production this quarter, not from a slide deck. In class I show the patterns that scale and the mistakes that cost teams days.
Learner reviews
The common control framework is the backbone and the course built it correctly before anything else.
Continuous monitoring is what turns GRC from paperwork into something useful. Great practical treatment.
Cleared CIS-Risk and Compliance and, more usefully, implemented the framework at work.
