Add and Configure Workflow Checks

Add system-specific workflow checks in Sprinto to validate infrastructure security controls through periodic evidence.

Introduction

In addition to automated system checks, Sprinto supports workflow checks that require periodic evidence submissions to validate compliance. These checks are useful when:

• Manual validation is needed (e.g., for backup restoration tests)

• Evidence must be reviewed periodically

• Specific compliance controls are not covered by system integrations

Workflow checks can be applied to both integrated and non-integrated infrastructure systems.

Accessing Workflow Checks

1. Go to Data Library → Infrastructure.

2. In the Infra systems tab, select a specific system.

3. Click Add workflow check.

You can also add checks from the Monitoring → Available checks tab across all systems.

Managing Workflow Checks

Once a workflow check is active:

• It will appear under Monitoring → Active Checks

• The assigned owner receives reminder notifications

• Check status is Due until evidence is uploaded

• Evidence can include screenshots, PDFs, documents, or shared links

• Reviewers can mark the check as Passing, or request rework

Tips

• Use templates to save time when adding common checks like:

  • Database encryption is enabled

  • Disaster recovery is tested

• Use bulk upload when configuring multiple systems across providers

• Always assign a responsible stakeholder to avoid missed deadlines
