Vailor: the sovereign AI-native GRC alternative to ServiceNow

Every record needs a single source of truth. Your ITSM tool stays authoritative for tickets, changes and day-to-day operations; the GRC platform stays authoritative for risks, controls, evidence and deadlines. The two are joined by identifier: a treatment action points to the request that carries it, and progress flows back without anyone retyping it. Those links are built by identifier or through APIs rather than by copying data that would go stale immediately. The working rule: what is run daily belongs to operations, what is shown to an auditor belongs to GRC.

No. EBIOS RM starts from the missions and business values inside the scope of the study, then attaches the supporting assets that carry them. You therefore describe only the part of the information system that underpins the scope in hand, which stays achievable even when the wider estate is not mapped. Waiting for an exhaustive inventory first also has a flaw: it is out of date before it is useful. In Vailor the scope grows as further studies are run, and the AI prefills each analysis from the project documents instead of waiting for a perfect repository.

The useful granularity is the level at which a security decision is actually taken. An application service, a database, an exchange flow or an administration workstation each belong in an analysis; a hardware configuration line rarely does. Importing the full technical inventory adds maintenance without improving decisions. Do keep the original identifier of everything you import: it is what lets you find the complete record in the repository that owns it, and reconcile both sides at the next update.

Pick a first scope that produces useful evidence quickly: a regulatory deadline coming up, a certified perimeter to maintain, or the applications behind one critical activity. Run the full cycle there, from risk identification through to tracking the treatment plan, before widening. That first loop settles the naming conventions, the roles and the level of detail later waves reuse. In Vailor, each new entity inherits the group settings (scales, matrices, risk sources) or keeps its own, which matters once the waves are counted in dozens of scopes.

Not everything should move, and across a large estate the transfer follows the rollout waves rather than one single switch. What carries evidential value does move: the risk register with its levels and treatment decisions, control coverage per framework, action plans with their owner and due date, and the evidence already collected with its date. The rest can stay archived where it sits. The transfer runs through structured exports or APIs, with a period where the first scope is maintained on both sides until every discrepancy is explained. Vailor supports that transfer.

In a large information system, most of what GRC needs is held elsewhere: application owners, operations leads, procurement, business teams, internal audit. A rollout that only creates accounts for the security team turns that team into a data entry desk. So you need distinct roles, access limited to each person's own scope, and requests that are short and dated. In Vailor, fine-grained rights and custom roles limit everyone to their own scope, and in the pre-assessment the business answers simple questions rather than an expert questionnaire.
