How it Works

Learn how Sprinto automates periodic compliance reviews and helps teams complete them with guided workflows and audit tracking.

Sprinto’s Reviews feature helps you stay compliant by guiding designated roles through periodic evaluations of your organisation’s security practices. These reviews can either be auto-triggered based on framework SLAs (like SOC 2, ISO 27001) or created manually to suit internal processes.

There are two kinds of reviews you can perform:

  • Senior Management Reviews Mandatory, time-based checks like policy review, org chart validation, risk and vendor assessments.

  • Workflow Checks Customisable, process-driven reviews—ideal when your organisation conducts assessments outside of Sprinto.


What You’ll Need

  • You must be assigned the correct role: Infosec Officer or Senior Management.

  • Reviews must be triggered (either automatically by Sprinto or manually via Add Workflow Check).

  • For some reviews, required actions like policy setup or risk assessments must already be completed.


Step 1: Go to Reviews

  1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Data Library > Reviews.

  3. Use the tabs to switch between:

    • Senior Management (default)

    • Workflow Checks


Step 2: Finish a Pending Review

You’ll see a list of review cards with current statuses: ✅ Passing ⚠️ Critical ⏳ Due ❌ Failing

  1. Click Finish pending review on any check.

  2. Review the presented data—this might include:

    • A list of policies

    • Your org chart and roles

    • A vendor risk report

    • An internal audit summary

  3. Add comments if needed.

  4. Confirm the checklist by ticking I have reviewed...

  5. Click Submit Review.


Step 3: View Completed Reviews

You can view past reviews for audit trail purposes:

  1. Click View completed reviews on any review card.

  2. You’ll see:

    • Who completed the review

    • When it was completed

    • Any comments or evidence added


Step 4: Add or Manage Workflow Checks

To manually add a review check:

  1. Click Add workflow check.

  2. Choose from predefined templates (e.g. Internal Audit, Board Review) or create a custom one.

  3. Configure the check:

    • Add title and description

    • Set frequency (e.g. every 12 months)

    • Assign a reviewer

    • Enable evidence requirement, if needed


Step 5: Upload Evidence (Optional)

Some reviews may require documentation, such as:

  • Internal audit reports (CSV or PDF)

  • Org chart screenshots

  • Vendor due diligence files

You can upload evidence while completing the review or later by going into Manage.


Step 6: Track Status and Stay Compliant

Sprinto automatically updates the status of each review:

Status
Meaning

Passing

Review completed within the SLA

Due

Review pending; SLA breach not yet critical

Critical

Review due in 7 days or fewer

Failing

Review overdue and non-compliant

Sprinto sends reminders to assigned stakeholders, helping you stay on top of what’s due.
