Assign Roles for Sprinto Workflow Actions
Learn how to assign roles in Sprinto to ensure accountability for workflow checks, evidence submission, and compliance actions.
Sprinto triggers a workflow check when required compliance roles are unassigned or missing. To resolve these checks and ensure continued evidence collection, administrators must assign designated users to the necessary roles.
Assigning roles ensures the right people are responsible for security and compliance tasks, such as submitting evidence, reviewing access, and managing incidents. These roles also enable accurate ownership mapping across controls, policies, and monitors.
When is this check triggered?
This check is triggered when one or more of the following roles are not assigned within the organisation:
Information Security Officer
Responsible for overseeing the overall compliance programme.
Data Privacy Officer
Manages privacy-related matters, including data subject rights.
Infrastructure Owner
Oversees cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
Access Manager
Manages access reviews and critical system access provisioning.
Incident Manager
Responsible for reviewing and closing reported security incidents.
Risk Manager
Conducts risk assessments and manages risk remediation plans.
Vulnerability Manager
Handles vulnerability management and remediation efforts.
How to assign roles
Navigate to the People → Staff section in the Sprinto dashboard.
Locate the relevant staff member and click Edit.
In the role assignment section, select the appropriate role(s) based on the table above.
Ensure that the staff member’s reporting manager and job role are also updated — these fields are mandatory for this check to pass.

Sprinto will automatically mark the check as resolved once all required roles are assigned and mapped to active employees.
