ServiceNow attained both the International Organisation for Standardisation’s ISO27701 and Asia‑Pacific Economic Cooperation Privacy Recognition for Processors (APEC PRP) Certifications.
Building on its already robust and mature privacy, security and compliance processes, these certifications further assist ServiceNow in achieving the highest standard of data privacy protections. The latest announcement, along with previously achieved certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC 2, enhance the global data privacy posture of the ServiceNow enterprise cloud offering.
The certifications are an important milestone as ServiceNow continues to scale and build customer and partner trust. The achievement of these certifications highlights ServiceNow’s commitment to privacy, through complying with new and evolving digital privacy and safety mandates.
ISO 27001 improves and maintains the safeguarding of data. It acts as a privacy extension to the International Organisation for Standardisation’s international information security management standards, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002.
As an international management system standard, ISO27701:
- Demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations around the world, including GDPR
- Streamlines privacy controls to reduce the risk to the privacy rights of individuals
- Underlines ServiceNow’s best in practice security posture, protecting the organization from information security breaches
- Specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a PIMS (Privacy Information Management System)
- Provides guidance on the protection of privacy, including how organizations should manage personal information
APEC PRP puts ServiceNow among a small group of organizations which have established robust programs to support compliant cross‑border data transfers.
The APEC PRP framework:
- Allows data processors to demonstrate their ability to provide effective implementation of a data controller’s privacy obligations under the APEC Cross‑Border Privacy Rules (APEC CBPR)
- Gives data controllers the ability to identify qualified, accountable data processors
- Highlights ServiceNow’s commitment to servicing the Asia‑Pacific Economic Cooperation region, comprising of countries across Asia, Australia, and the Americas
As ServiceNow continues to evolve and expand its’ continued protection of customer and user data, meeting privacy management standards remains central to its wider privacy and data compliance program.

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
