Create and Add Vendors

Learn how to add vendors to Sprinto using the vendor library, CSV upload, manual entry, or SSO-based discovery.

Sprinto offers multiple methods to add vendors, allowing you to maintain a complete and audit-ready vendor register. Whether you're importing a large batch or adding one-off entries, Sprinto provides the flexibility to suit your workflows.

You can add vendors through:

  • Sprinto’s curated Vendor Library

  • Bulk CSV upload

  • Manual entry

  • Vendor Discovery (via SSO integration)


1. Add Vendors from the Library

Use Sprinto’s pre-defined vendor list to quickly add commonly used vendors.

Steps:

  1. Go to Data Library > Vendors > All vendors.

  2. Click Add vendors.

  3. Select Add vendors from library.

  4. Use the left-hand panel to filter by category or search by name.

  5. Select vendors and click Proceed.

  6. Review vendor details, edit if needed, and click Add vendors.

Note: Library vendors come with pre-filled metadata such as website, privacy policy, risk level, and terms of service.


2. Add Vendors via CSV Upload

Ideal for onboarding multiple vendors at once.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to All vendors and click Add vendors.

  2. Choose Bulk import vendors via CSV file.

  3. Download Sprinto’s vendor template and populate it with vendor data.

  4. Upload the completed file and click Add vendors.

Vendors added via CSV appear in the All vendors list once validated.


3. Add Vendors Manually

Add a vendor not listed in the library or CSV.

Steps:

  1. Go to Add vendors and search the library.

  2. If not found, click Add manually.

  3. Enter the following details:

    • Vendor name

    • Category

    • Website

    • Description

    • TOS/Privacy policy links

    • Internal vendor admin (optional)

  4. Click Save vendor.


4. Add Vendors via Discovery

Sprinto integrates with SSO providers to automatically discover vendors your team accesses.

Steps:

  1. Go to Vendor discovery tab.

  2. Review vendors under Pending Validation.

  3. For each vendor:

    • Click Add vendor to include it in your vendor list.

    • Or click Dismiss to ignore.

  4. Click Manage Vendor Discovery to connect or manage domains (Google Workspace, Okta, Office 365).

You can review which staff accessed a vendor before adding it.
