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.
