People
Get a complete overview of Sprinto's People section to manage staff, roles, scoping, onboarding, and compliance tasks efficiently.
The People section in Sprinto enables you to manage and monitor all staff-related information essential to your organisation’s security and compliance programmes. This area acts as the central hub for importing staff data, assigning responsibilities, tracking onboarding progress, and ensuring that all relevant personnel are appropriately scoped, trained, and aligned with your audit requirements.
Key Functions
The People section is organised into the following tabs:
1. Staff
Import and manage staff members from HRMS tools or identity providers such as Google Workspace, Okta, and Microsoft Entra ID. You can also add staff manually or upload via CSV. This tab allows you to:
View and filter staff by onboarding and scoping status
Add and manage custom fields
Assign roles, reporting managers, and reviewers
Upload hiring evaluation and background verification reports
Offboard staff or mark them as not in scope
2. Monitoring
Track whether staff have completed key onboarding requirements, including:
Security training
Policy acknowledgment
Device reporting
Sprinto displays status indicators to help you identify gaps and automate reminders.
3. Security Roles
Create, assign, and manage security roles that define access levels and responsibilities across various compliance functions.
4. Roles & Responsibilities
Assign individuals or groups as owners of compliance tasks or requirements. You can select roles manually or automate this mapping through integrations.
5. Org Chart
View your organisation's hierarchy, as sourced from HR systems or manually uploaded org charts. This visual representation clarifies team structures, reporting lines, and leadership levels.
6. Configuration
Control how staff data is imported and managed. This tab includes:
Staff information provider integrations (e.g., HRMS, IDP)
Staff scoping automation via provider groups
Org chart settings
Staff onboarding message templates
Background verification system management
Custom field creation

Role-based access: Enforce least-privilege access by mapping staff to appropriate security roles.

Custom field support: Store extra metadata such as department, region, or onboarding date.
Here's the revised Use Cases section in tabular format, integrated into the People – Overview document:
Use Cases
Compliance onboarding
A new staff member joins the organisation. The People section ensures they are marked in scope, assigned relevant training, sent policy acknowledgements, and prompted to report their device—all from a single interface.
Audit preparation
You need to prove staff compliance (e.g., completed background checks or policy acceptance) for an upcoming audit. Use the Monitoring tab and custom fields to gather and present audit-ready evidence.
Org-wide training rollout
You want to assign security training only to engineering and product teams. With provider-based staff groups, you can target specific teams without impacting others.
Merger and acquisition integration
During an acquisition, import new staff from the acquired entity’s HRMS. Then, scope them, assign roles, and track onboarding progress via a unified dashboard.
Role management for compliance tasks
Map individuals or groups to specific controls, policies, or evidence responsibilities using the Roles & Responsibilities tab to reduce accountability gaps.
