# Monitor Access Checks

The **Monitoring** tab in the Access section enables you to track the status of access-related checks across your integrated systems. These checks help validate that access controls are in place, no unauthorised users have access, and system privileges remain consistent with your compliance policies.

Sprinto continuously runs these checks and flags any failures or pending validations, allowing you to resolve issues promptly and maintain a strong compliance posture.

***

### View access checks

1. Go to **Data Library > Access > Monitoring**.
2. You will see a table of all access-related checks across critical systems.
3. Each row includes:
   * **Check title**
   * **Assigned system/provider**
   * **Status** (Pass / Fail / Due / Critical)
   * **Assigned owner**
   * **Last evaluated timestamp**

Use the filter panel to narrow results by:

* **Entity** (e.g. staff member or system)
* **Provider**
* **Check status**
* **Task owner**

***

### Take action on failed checks

1. Click on a check marked **Fail** or **Due**.
2. Review the issue summary, system context, and affected users.
3. Choose one of the following options:
   * **Assign owner**: Select a team member to resolve the issue.
   * **Escalate**: Notify People Ops or InfoSec teams.
   * **Push to task tracker**: Send to Jira, Asana, or your configured system.
   * **Acknowledge or dismiss** (where applicable).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Sprinto logs all actions for audit readiness. Only users with the correct permissions can dismiss critical failures.
{% endhint %}

***

### Add new checks

To manually define new checks:

1. Click **+ Add Check**.
2. Choose from the following options:
   * **From template**: Use pre-configured checks provided by Sprinto.
   * **Single check**: Create a one-off custom check.
   * **Bulk upload**: Import multiple checks using a CSV file.
3. Set the required parameters (e.g. system, severity, owner).
4. Click **Create**.

***

### Review task distribution

Use the summary section at the top to view:

* Total number of active checks
* Distribution by provider or system
* Owner-wise breakdown
* Critical vs. non-critical checks

This helps you prioritise work and assess ownership.

***

### Best practices

* Check this tab weekly to resolve failures and prevent compliance drift.
* Assign task owners clearly to avoid bottlenecks.
* Use templates to automate recurring access validations.
