About Governance (Service Mapping)

Governance (formerly Service Mapping) models business context on top of vScope’s discovered assets – services, information assets, vendors, countries, or any entity you define – so you can see impact, ownership, and compliance in one place.

Governance (Service Mapping) user interface

Use it when you need

Section titled “Use it when you need”
  • Impact analysis: which assets support a service/vendor/region.
  • Ownership clarity: who manage/maintains a service or information asset.
  • Compliance/SLAs: view posture at the service/entity level.
  • Collaboration: keep business and technical context aligned in one place.
  • Bridge gaps: combine deep discovery data with the business view.

Key concepts (how it works)

Section titled “Key concepts (how it works)”
  • Entities: Each entity type (Service, Vendor, Country, etc.) is documented using fields, relations, assets, and metadata.
  • Templates: Per entity type define required fields/sections; bundled templates are included and customizable.
  • Fields & sections: Reusable inputs/sections to standardize documentation.
  • Live data: Linked assets stay updated via Discovery – no manual work required.
  • Relations: Map dependencies between entities and assets for impact understanding.
  • Collaboration: Visibility is restricted by default; collaborate entities with groups/users for read/write access.
