What are the reasons we need policies, and how does Sprinto’s set of policies address those needs?

Policies are basically the backbone of your organization’s security efforts. They clearly outline your company’s plans, processes, and protocol for data and asset protection.

But just having rules is not enough. Sharing these policies with your team ensures everyone knows what’s expected of them and how they contribute to keeping the organization secure.

Externally, policies help you build trust. When you share them with customers and prospects, you’re showing that you take security seriously and are committed to doing the right thing. This can make a huge difference when it comes to winning new business and maintaining strong relationships.

Let’s take the example of the data backup policy, which is a document that outlines the procedures and guidelines for creating, storing, and managing copies of critical data. Having backups will not help you with the policies; you need to let your customers know that their data is safe and will always be available, even if something goes wrong. Plus, regularly testing those backups ensures you can restore everything when needed, keeping your operations running smoothly.

Sprinto believes in keeping security simple but effective. We offer 100s of pre-built policy templates that are ready for use. The policies have already helped hundreds of customers get through vendor security questionnaires, lock in six-figure enterprise deals, and pass audits for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.

The policies are designed to align with industry standards, but you also need to consider that every organization is different. That’s why, Sprinto allows you to tweak and edit them to better fit your specific needs.

So, if you think you need a more mature data backup program or any other policy enhancement, Sprinto makes it easy to customize and strengthen your security efforts to match exactly what your organization requires.

Also, Sprinto doesn’t just stop at policies. The platform automates the entire process, from setting up controls to collecting evidence, making it easier to stay compliant without the manual effort.
