### **The simplest way to securely segregate your data in ServiceNow**

Simple Data Separation utilizes a rules-based engine to grant access to data based on user attributes such as Group, Department, Location, Company, and more. You can even provide one-off, time-bound access to specific users and records, enabling you to best serve your users while maintaining security standards.

Simple Data Separation is easier & more efficient than Access Controls or Data Filtration. It's more maintainable & economical than Domain Separation. And it's the only solution for on-demand, auditable access requisition. For most customers, it's the clear choice for data segregation within ServiceNow.
