The company leads the charge on a new focus on governance to address software delivery security risks, fragmented changes, inconsistent policies, and risky workarounds
xtype unveiled the first native governance platform for ServiceNow, helping enterprises eliminate the governance gaps that delay critical projects and expose them to compliance risk. Early adopters report shipping 23% more user stories per release, slashing cloning downtime by 75%, and achieving audit-readiness without slowing innovation.
The announcement marks a strategic focus to help highly regulated enterprises prioritize transparency, compliance, and operational control while implementing ServiceNow projects. The governance-led approach will help CIOs accelerate strategic initiatives, while giving CISOs, GRC teams peace of mind with central permission management, traceability, and empowering platform owners to shrink their backlogs quickly with confidence.
Unlike fragmented solutions or manual governance via spreadsheets, forms, and tribal knowledge, xtype defines a new category: a built-in control plane for ServiceNow governance. It replaces bolt-on tools and heroics with automated guardrails that keep changes compliant, fast, and consistent across every environment.
A Market Shift Toward Governance: Enterprise Leaders Cite Lack of Governance as a Top Concern
The new launch comes as enterprises confront widespread governance gaps in ServiceNow operations. xtype’s 2025 State of ServiceNow Operations Report revealed that inconsistent governance practices remain a top concern among enterprise leaders navigating regulatory pressure and security threats. The research found that 30% of companies restrict admin privileges to development instances only, and – alarmingly – 16% dangerously allow full admin rights across all environments a ticking time bomb for security and compliance.
“Most enterprises constantly worry about their ServiceNow environments who changed what, when, and why,” said Ron Gidron, CEO of xtype. “xtype removes governance as a bottleneck, replacing fragmented oversight with a native control plane that empowers businesses to innovate quickly and fearlessly without compromising compliance.”
