Advanced Infrastructure Checks in Sprinto

Sprinto now offers deeper compliance coverage with new system checks for cloud infrastructure services like GCP.

Sprinto has introduced a new set of in-depth system checks to enhance cloud infrastructure monitoring. These checks provide more granular visibility into your cloud configurations and expand the scope of automated compliance detection.

The checks are currently available for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and are applied automatically to eligible infrastructure services when enabled.

What Happens When You Enable These Checks

When the new checks are activated, Sprinto performs the following actions:

1. Configuration Analysis

Sprinto fetches the current configuration details of your integrated infrastructure accounts and analyses them against the latest check definitions.

2. Check Activation

If any configuration does not meet the required security standard, Sprinto activates the relevant check against the affected resource.

3. Continuous Monitoring

Once you fix the flagged configuration (for example, by enabling encryption or disabling a risky feature), Sprinto automatically detects the update and marks the check as Passing.

How to Enable the New Checks

You can enable the advanced checks using either of the following methods:

• Navigate to the Data Library > Infrastructure page in the Sprinto admin portal and click Enable Now on the banner.

• Alternatively, click Enable from the notification email sent to your organisation’s administrators.

For assistance, contact Sprinto Support.

Let me know if you’d like to:

• Add this to the “What’s New” index for Infrastructure

• Link this under the Monitoring or Dashboard Actions section

• Draft a similar announcement for other providers (e.g., AWS, Azure) once new checks are introduced for them
