Overview
Manage compliance, internal, and custom audits effortlessly with Sprinto’s centralised audit management platform.
Sprinto’s Audit module empowers your organisation to manage audits confidently and systematically. Whether you're undergoing a compliance audit, internal assessment, or external review, the Audits section centralises all related activities—enabling InfoSec teams, auditors, and business stakeholders to collaborate effectively.
This module supports both partner audits, which are linked to specific frameworks (such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR), and custom audits, which can be tailored to suit internal policies or third-party requests.
Key Benefits

Real-time visibility into audit progress and evidence collection.
Automated documentation and reporting, reducing manual overhead.
Seamless auditor collaboration, with granular access control.
Integrated with controls and evidence across your systems via Sprinto’s compliance engine.
