Use Dr. Sprinto to automatically monitor endpoint controls like screen-lock and OS patching, or submit manual inputs to resolve device checks in Sprinto.
Dr. Sprinto is Sprinto’s lightweight agent used to collect local system data that cannot be fetched through cloud integrations alone. It enables monitoring of critical controls on employee endpoints, such as screen lock enforcement, OS updates, device health, and auto logout policies.
In addition to Dr. Sprinto, Sprinto supports manual evidence uploads and manual workflows for controls that are not automatable — allowing flexibility in satisfying compliance requirements across varied environments.
This article outlines what Dr. Sprinto captures, when to use manual inputs, and how both methods help resolve monitors.
Dr. Sprinto is a device-level agent that runs locally on user systems (Windows/macOS). It allows Sprinto to:
Detect screen lock and auto-lock configurations
Track OS patch status (up-to-date or outdated)
Report last activity and device compliance status
Help complete device-specific workflow checks
Dr. Sprinto is non-invasive and does not collect personal files, browsing activity, or keystrokes.
DrSprinto is supported only on physical devices such as laptops and desktops. It does not work on virtual machines (VMs), and data from such environments will not be captured or reflected in Sprinto.
Auto screen-lock on Windows/macOS
Automatic via Dr. Sprinto
Device OS should be up to date
Automatic via Dr. Sprinto
Manual device health reporting
Optional via Portal
Windows Registry Policy Compliance
Requires manual file or screenshot
Powershell-based checks
Requires manual export or input
Admin generates download links from Settings → Dr. Sprinto Agent
End-users download and install the agent
Once active, Dr. Sprinto will:
Auto-sync with Sprinto every few hours
Send encrypted compliance signals from the device
Display device status in the Monitoring > Devices tab
Here's a short video on how to report a device via Dr. Sprinto.
In cases where:
Dr. Sprinto is not installed
The endpoint is BYOD or out of Sprinto scope
The control requires human confirmation (e.g., shared account lock policy)
Sprinto allows end users to submit compliance evidence manually.
Steps:
Navigate to the Employee Portal
Select the required task (e.g., Report screen-lock, confirm antivirus)
Submit form responses, screenshots, or mark as completed
Admins can review these submissions in the Monitoring tab
If a device is not manually reported on a daily basis, its validity is retained in Sprinto for up to 90 days from the last reported update. After that, the device is considered unmonitored.
If Dr. Sprinto cannot fetch certain signals (e.g., registry-level policy settings), use:
Windows PowerShell exports
Registry screenshots (regedit)
Policy summary reports
Annotated screenshots from Settings or Group Policy Editor
Submit these via Upload Evidence against the failing check.
