Access
Monitor and manage user access to critical systems in Sprinto to prevent unauthorised access and ensure compliance.
Introduction
Access management is a critical requirement in any security compliance programme. Ensuring that only authorised personnel can access sensitive systems is central to frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. It helps prevent data breaches, strengthens internal controls, and supports a robust audit trail.
Sprinto simplifies this process through the Access section, allowing you to map staff to systems, monitor access levels, and flag potential violations—streamlining access governance across your organisation.
Why It’s Important
Without clear access boundaries, organisations face the risk of internal threats, accidental leaks, or unresolved access even after offboarding. Manual tracking is time-consuming and prone to gaps.
With Sprinto, access management becomes structured and auditable. You can:
Maintain a record of who has access to what systems.
Ensure that system access is appropriate for each user’s role.
Detect orphaned or excessive privileges.
Automate checks and workflows to maintain access hygiene.
How Sprinto Manages Access
Sprinto provides a centralised interface to manage, validate, and monitor user access across your critical systems.
Critical Systems: Add and monitor core systems (like AWS, Okta, Google Workspace). Sprinto integrates with them to fetch access data and run compliance checks.
Staff Access: Review access per staff member. Verify who has access to which systems, and take corrective actions such as mapping accounts or fixing discrepancies.
Monitoring: Use real-time status dashboards to track checks, view violations, and push fixes to task trackers like Jira. Sprinto auto-runs periodic validations to ensure ongoing compliance.
Offboarded Staff: Review access logs and validate that offboarded users no longer retain system access. This tab ensures timely deprovisioning across systems.
Getting Started
Start by integrating your organisation’s critical systems and HRMS. Once connected, Sprinto automatically maps user identities and flags any inconsistencies or risks for review. You can then begin monitoring access at both the system and staff levels.
Sprinto also provides workflows to:
Add new systems or projects via integrations
Push access violations to ticketing systems
Configure escalations and sync rules
Resolve unmatched accounts via guided remediation
Use Cases
Initial Access Audit
Connect core systems and HRMS to build a complete view of access allocations.
Periodic Access Review
Evaluate staff access quarterly or yearly to meet compliance requirements.
Onboarding and Role-Based Access
Assign system access based on roles during staff onboarding.
Orphaned Account Detection
Identify accounts in systems that are not mapped to any active staff.
Offboarding Audit
Verify that offboarded staff no longer have access to critical systems.
Incident Response
Quickly audit access in response to a breach or suspected misuse.
