# Systems Checks and Notifications

Sprinto includes built-in system checks and notifications to help you maintain a compliant and up-to-date risk register. These automated cues prompt users to take action when a required step in the risk lifecycle is pending or overdue.

### Types of System Checks

System checks appear on the dashboard and are directly tied to compliance readiness. Each check changes status based on user actions.

#### 1. **Risk Assessment**

* **Status:** Pending / Passing
* **Trigger:** Assessment not performed within the past 12 months
* **Resolution:** Complete a new in-app or document-upload assessment

#### 2. **Risk Assessment Review**

* **Status:** Pending / Passing
* **Trigger:** Assessment submitted but not reviewed by senior management
* **Resolution:** Senior management must acknowledge and submit the review

#### 3. **Incomplete Risks**

* **Status:** Incomplete
* **Trigger:** Risks are added but not yet scored or treated
* **Resolution:** Complete scoring, control mapping, and treatment for all risks

#### 4. **Open Treatment Tasks**

* **Status:** Open / Completed
* **Trigger:** Risk treatment task remains unmarked past its due date
* **Resolution:** Review and close out the task with optional evidence
