Pass Security Review The First Time.

Because applications are typically written to work rather than written to pass review, and those are different standards. The most common findings are access control gaps, hardcoded credentials, and insufficient input validation — all preventable, and all much cheaper to fix before submission than under the time pressure of a rejection.

Yes, and it is a common starting point. We work from the findings you received, address each one properly rather than minimally, and then review the rest of the application — because a rejection on three findings often means there are others the reviewer did not reach.

We fix them. A findings report you then have to act on yourself is half a service. We remediate, verify each fix, and re-review the affected area, because remediation done hastily is a common source of new problems.

Typically 4–8 weeks depending on application size and starting state, covering review, remediation, and documentation. ServiceNow's own review period follows and runs on their schedule, which we scope separately and do not promise dates for.

It is required for Store publishing, but the same standards are worth meeting for any application deployed into a regulated or security-conscious customer environment. Many enterprise customers apply comparable scrutiny to applications installed directly on their instance.
