Resolve Sprinto Check for Periodic Review of Org Chart
Learn how to resolve Sprinto’s monitor for periodic review of the organisational chart and role mappings.
Sprinto raises this monitor when it detects that your organisation has not recently reviewed or updated its organisational hierarchy, reporting structure, or mapped roles. Periodic reviews of the org chart help ensure that job titles, reporting relationships, and responsibilities remain accurate—especially after staff changes, restructuring, or expansion.
This check is essential for maintaining governance across access control, role-based workflows, and audit readiness.
Why this matters
An outdated org chart can result in:
Incorrect role-based access assignments
Missed responsibilities in policy ownership or task delegation
Delayed offboarding due to unknown reporting managers
Gaps in risk accountability or evidence approvals
Compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 (A.6.1.1, A.7.1.2) and SOC 2 (CC1.3, CC6.1) require organisations to maintain up-to-date role and responsibility mappings.
What Sprinto checks
Sprinto evaluates whether:
Reporting managers are correctly assigned to staff
Key roles (e.g., policy owner, evidence approver, control owner) are mapped
Org chart updates are documented periodically (e.g., quarterly or semi-annually)
When does the monitor fail?
No recent update to org chart
Org chart has not been reviewed or updated in the last quarter
Unassigned or incorrect reporting managers
Staff members have no reporting manager or are assigned incorrectly
Role mappings missing or outdated
Roles like policy owner or control owner not correctly mapped
