Audit-Ready at All Times: How a Fintech Leader Automated Governance & Controls Using ServiceNow GRC

Michael Moch — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 06:19:08 +0000

Background

A rapidly growing Fintech company headquartered in Germany, with operations spanning five countries, found itself under increasing pressure to maintain compliance with a range of financial regulations (including BaFin, GDPR, and ISO 27001).
With a complex IT landscape, fast product releases, and multiple cloud platforms in use, ensuring governance, risk visibility, and audit readiness had become a daily struggle.

Manual control tracking.
Scattered policy documents.
Missed deadlines during audits.

That’s when Moch.IT stepped in — with a mission to streamline compliance operations using ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), integrated tightly with their CMDB and automation frameworks.

Challenges

Disjointed Control Frameworks: Each department managed controls in isolation — spreadsheets, emails, and outdated SharePoint lists. This created duplication, missed updates, and unclear ownership.

Audit Fatigue: With multiple audits each year (internal, regulatory, and client-driven), the risk team spent weeks preparing evidence manually — draining resources and delaying product delivery.

Lack of Real-Time Risk Visibility: The leadership team had no single dashboard to view open risks, policy gaps, or audit readiness across departments and regions.

Disconnected CMDB & Controls: The company’s CMDB was not linked to compliance controls, meaning teams couldn't track which IT assets posed audit risk — or which needed urgent remediation.

Inefficient Policy Management: Policy versions were managed manually with no consistent review, approval, or acknowledgment workflows.

Transforming Strategic Project Delivery for a Major European Utility Provider

Michael Moch — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 06:19:08 +0000

Background

A leading energy and utilities provider in Europe, with over 5,000 employees and hundreds of concurrent IT and infrastructure projects, faced mounting pressure to deliver business outcomes faster.
Project delays were frequent.
Visibility across the portfolio was limited.
And resource bottlenecks kept derailing go-lives.

With siloed execution methods and no central control, the company’s Project Management Office (PMO) struggled to maintain alignment between strategy, funding, and delivery. Moch.IT was brought in to implement ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) to unify the organization’s project landscape, optimize execution, and fast-track go-live timelines.

The Challenge

Fragmented Project Execution: Each business unit ran projects with different tools and no standard governance. There was no enterprise-level project intake, milestone tracking, or progress monitoring.

Lack of Portfolio Visibility: Leadership couldn’t see which projects were behind schedule, over budget, or misaligned with strategic goals. This led to delayed decisions and poor prioritization.

Delayed Go-Lives: Projects were often pushed back due to missed dependencies, manual milestone management, and unclear resource allocation.

Inefficient Resource Planning: Without a centralized resource view, teams were overcommitted while others were underutilized. Talent allocation was reactive rather than strategic.

Disconnected Tools & Reporting: Critical project data was spread across spreadsheets, email threads, and various disconnected tools—making accurate reporting nearly impossible.
