Attention Enterprise Architects and Platform Owners: The ServiceNow SecOps data model has been completely overhauled.

Following the major packaging restructuring in April 2026, the era of legacy standalone SKUs and plug-in add-ons is officially over. Security Incident Response (SIR) and Vulnerability Response (VR) have been split into a strict three-tier architecture: Foundation, Advanced, and Prime.

This update introduces hard platform ceilings that directly affect workflow scope, CMDB data models, and Now Assist generative AI consumption limits. If you haven't audited your configuration item dependencies against these new tier boundaries, your next renewal could introduce major architectural gaps.

Read the full technical breakdown to explore the 4 cross-product deployment patterns, platform governance validation points, and how to structure your environment to avoid tier inflation.
