How do workflow checks work in Sprinto?

Sprinto ensures that you are compliant with all requirements enlisted in a framework of your choice. To accomplish this, Sprinto first generates a comprehensive framework requirement list and maps these against controls users need to implement. 

The platform and its functionalities offer two ways through which evidence can be collected to prove compliance with the controls: System Checks and Workflow Checks.

1. How do system checks work?

System Checks automate the gathering of evidence through APIs hooked into a range of tools that you use. This approach assures that all evidence from these integrated systems gets collected seamlessly and automatically.

2. How do workflow checks work?

Workflow Checks enable additional configuration flexibility. Using Workflow Checks, you can define specific checks that you may want to run and how frequently these checks need to be run. 

Thereafter, Sprinto will alert you when a certain check becomes due, notifying the stakeholder to upload the necessary evidence—this can include reports, screenshots, or any other documents from customer, which auditors will review in the course of your audits.

The beauty of workflow checks in Sprinto lies in their flexibility: You can configure which assignee should be responsible for the check and set it to whatever frequency you find fit—say, quarterly. 

Besides, Sprinto takes care of mapping these checks against relevant controls and frameworks; thus, you would not need to replicate efforts in case similar evidence is being called for on several audits.

Such an approach will let you keep control of your compliance process while adding to it the power of Sprinto’s automated notifications and organized mapping for more efficient, less-stress audit preparation.
