How is the audit experience different with Sprinto from traditional audits?

The audit experience is different once you move to an automation platform because it transforms the traditional audit requirements into something that presents opportunity for the business.

It is not possible for such processes to be efficient enough because people report that they spend a lot of time doing system checks and spreadsheets. During the audit time, this steps up as compliance teams scramble to feed the company information that paints a positive picture. Automation platforms replace these manual processes with efficient solutions:

The safeguarding of IT structures and management of changes requires the perpetuity assessment of security controls.

• Monitoring of on-premises systems, cloud service providers, and SaaS vendors
• Automatic issue resolution addresses minor compliance issues without manual intervention
• Automated alerts notification to staff when any anomaly is detected
• Continuous compliance documentation produces reports to document and showcase continuous compliance efforts

The traditional approach creates tension during audits because evidence must be gathered and problems fixed with no gaps in time. Compliance automation makes it easier to have continuous checks and gather evidence of such, etc., so that all the required information is in one place.

How does Sprinto help here?

Historical audit examples imply communication and greater engagement when interviews are conducted; evidence is shared via email, Excel, etc. What is more, the same was done with several frameworks in this process.

Sprinto optimizes your audit by providing a centralized solution for managing information security and privacy programs, all in one efficient interface. All your policies and framework can be stored in the same place, and the auditor dashboard can be shared remotely, cutting out the middle communication.

Every audit is supported by a personal Audit Manager who can help with any questions about controls or the platform. It minimizes workload for audits hence, you spend a lot of time in audits other than dealing with your work in audit.
