# Frequently Asked Questions

### Introduction

This page addresses common questions related to infrastructure integration, classification, monitoring, and check resolution in Sprinto.

***

#### 1. What is an infrastructure system in Sprinto?

An infrastructure system refers to a cloud provider account integrated with Sprinto. For example, an AWS account, Azure subscription, or GCP project is treated as an infrastructure system.

***

#### 2. What happens after I integrate an infrastructure provider?

Once integrated, Sprinto starts syncing metadata from your cloud account. You can then classify the retrieved entities and monitor them using system and workflow checks.

***

#### 3. How do I assign ownership for a specific infrastructure system?

Click **Configure** from the Infra systems tab, then select **Change** under the Infra Owner field. Choose a staff member with appropriate privileges and click **Save**.

***

#### 4. What types of classification are supported for infrastructure entities?

Sprinto supports the following classification methods:

* Manual classification
* Tag-based classification
* Parent-based classification
* System-level default classification (Smart Classification)

***

#### 5. What happens if an entity remains unclassified?

Unclassified entities are excluded from compliance checks. You must classify them manually, through tags, or via parent relationship to enable monitoring.

***

#### 6. How can I monitor compliance for systems that don’t integrate with Sprinto?

Use workflow checks to manually validate compliance. These checks allow you to submit evidence on a defined schedule. You can add them via the **Add workflow check** option.

***

#### 7. What is the difference between system checks and workflow checks?

<table><thead><tr><th width="177.25390625">Check Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>System checks</td><td>Automatically triggered based on configurations in your cloud provider.</td></tr><tr><td>Workflow checks</td><td>Manually triggered and require evidence upload to validate compliance.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

#### 8. Can I update API keys for integrated cloud services?

Yes. For supported providers like Azure and GCP, go to **Settings → Integrations → Active**, click **Manage**, and update the credentials without affecting the connection.

***

#### 9. How do I know which checks are failing?

Go to the **Monitoring** tab to view all checks and their statuses (e.g., Passing, Failing, Due). Click any check to see more details and resolution steps.

***

#### 10. What if a Sprinto check cannot be resolved directly?

If the check cannot be resolved due to provider limitations, you can:

* Upload manual evidence
* Mark the check as a special case with a justification
