Release notes

Australia

After upgrading to version 22.3.2, use the worst case aggregation rollup method that derives all scores from a single risk record based on the highest residual risk. You can configure this option on the Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM) form. By using a single risk record as the source, this method keeps all rolled-up scores aligned to a real risk scenario, supporting traceability, audit requirements, and enterprise governance.

After upgrading to version 22.3.2, configure the Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM) to hide the Not applicable check box in control effectiveness and residual assessment sections by using the Hide assessment not applicable option. This change reduces calculation errors and improves the reliability of assessment results.

Parallel review and feedback is now enabled by default on the risk assessment project record page and the project assessment page, in both stacked view and grid view. You can use collaborative review workflows without manual configuration, which removes the setup overhead previously required by the custom page structure of risk assessment projects.

  • Redirect GRC notification links to the appropriate workspace

After upgrading to version 22.3.2, redirect to the appropriate workspace when accessing GRC records from email notifications, based on the access and role. This feature improves usability, reduces confusion, and supports adoption of workspace-based workflows.

After upgrading to version 22.3.2, Risk Identification supports smart assessment template versioning. New versions can be created from existing templates without creating a new template, and assessments use the latest published version.

After upgrading to version 22.3.2, Risk Assessment Projects support audit entries to track changes and activity history. An audit entry framework separates audit-specific (third-line) records from operational (second-line) records and controls visibility.

Note: This option is available if Audit Management and Audit Workspace are installed. Assign the sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager role to a user to use this feature.

After upgrading the ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM) application to version 22.x, the Risk Suggestion AI Agent supports a more context‑aware and conversational workflow. After selecting risk types, you can provide additional context to refine search results, with the agent dynamically asking follow‑up questions when needed. Before adding risks to the suggested risk section, you can review and modify suggested risks by updating descriptions, renaming risks, or removing items from the list.

After upgrading to version 22.0.x, users with the Risk Manager [sn_risk.manager] or Risk Admin [sn_risk.admin] role can configure risk event response templates using dynamic, entity‑driven assignments. These changes enable assignments to be derived from entity data alongside existing static user or group selection.

You can select user fields defined on the entity (such as Owner or Sub-owner) or entity stakeholder personas when configuring:

-   Risk event owner assignment
-   Issue creation and assignment
-   Risk event approvers

After upgrading to version 22.0.x, you can use a defined workflow to update control objectives. Changes can be drafted and reviewed without changing the current active version, which helps avoid unintended changes to related controls, and risk records. Only approved updates become active. The workflow also sets clear responsibility for making updates and helps keep control objective information consistent and up to date.
