Create and Manage Checks
Learn how to create workflow-based compliance checks, add templates, and manage automated monitors in Sprinto's Monitoring dashboard.
Sprinto allows you to set up both workflow-based and automated checks from the Monitoring page. While automated checks are enabled via integrations, workflow checks can be created manually using templates, custom configurations, or bulk uploads.
These checks form the backbone of Sprinto’s continuous compliance monitoring. You can assign owners, define run frequencies, and track task statuses — all from a central interface.
