# Monitor Vendor Status and Breaches

Sprinto helps you track vendor progress across due diligence, assessments, and breach activity—ensuring that no critical compliance task goes unnoticed. You can monitor all actionable items from the **Monitoring** tab and stay informed about public data breaches via the **Breach monitoring** tab.

***

#### 1. Monitor Vendor Compliance Status

The **Monitoring** tab provides a real-time view of pending items for each vendor.

**Steps:**

1. Go to **Data Library > Vendors > Monitoring**.
2. View vendors with:
   * Incomplete due diligence
   * Pending risk scoring
   * Unsent or unreviewed questionnaires
   * Overdue document uploads
3. Click on a vendor to complete the necessary action (e.g., upload document, finish risk scoring).

Use filters to prioritise vendors by due date or risk level.
{% endhint %}

***

#### 2. Review Vendor Breach Alerts

Sprinto automatically detects breach incidents reported publicly for any vendor added to your account.

**Steps:**

1. Navigate to **Breach monitoring** tab.
2. Review breach entries, including:
   * Affected vendor
   * Reported date
   * Source of the incident
   * Number of people impacted
3. Click on a breach entry to view full details.
4. Use internal notes to document your response (e.g., contacted vendor, verified impact).

{% endhint %}

#### 3. Manage Breach Notifications

Sprinto sends breach alerts to all admin users when enabled.

**To enable or disable breach notifications:**

1. In the **Breach monitoring** tab, click **Manage**.
2. Use the toggle to switch notifications on or off.
