Frequently Asked Actions

Find answers to common questions about adding, managing, and mapping controls in Sprinto’s Compliance section.

This section answers common questions about working with controls in Sprinto, including creating new controls, mapping checks, and managing frameworks.

1. What is a control in Sprinto?

A control is a specific measure or safeguard that addresses a compliance, security, or operational requirement. Controls can be linked to monitoring checks and mapped to compliance frameworks and criteria.

2. Can I create custom controls?

Yes. You can create controls manually by providing details such as control number, name, description, owner, and domain, or add multiple controls in bulk using the CSV template.

3. What is the difference between adding a single control and adding controls in bulk?

Adding a single control allows you to create and configure one control at a time. Bulk import enables you to upload multiple controls at once using a pre-formatted CSV file.

4. Can I edit a control after it is created?

Yes. You can edit the control’s details at any time, including its number, name, description, owner, and domain.

5. What happens when I disable a control?

Disabling a control removes it from active compliance monitoring. It is moved to the Disabled tab and its linked checks are also deactivated.

6. Can I map multiple checks to a control?

Yes. You can map multiple automated and workflow checks to a control from the Monitoring section. You can also unmap checks that are no longer relevant.

7. How do I manage frameworks linked to a control?

From the control’s details view, scroll to the Mapped Frameworks section to add or remove frameworks. You can also map specific framework criteria to the control.

8. Is it possible to delete a control?

Control deletion is not a standard action in Sprinto. You can disable a control to remove it from active use while keeping its history for audit purposes.
