# How to configure and resolve Sprinto workflow check for auto session timeout

Workflow Check: Configure Session Timeout & Limit for Critical Systems

The following workflow check helps you enforce auto session timeout configuration on all critical systems. By defining a timeout limit for any critical system, inactive user sessions exceeding the limit will be automatically timed out.

### Purpose of the Check <a href="#purpose-of-the-check" id="purpose-of-the-check"></a>

Enabling this check ensures that all critical systems follow the auto timeout of inactive user sessions, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of these systems. Sprinto also collects evidence uploaded against this check for compliance auditing within the data security framework.
