# Zones

The **Zones** section in Sprinto allows you to logically group controls, frameworks, and workflow checks into specific operational or compliance areas. Zones help you organise responsibilities, maintain compliance boundaries, and ensure workflow checks are consistently applied to the correct parts of your organisation.

From the Zones dashboard, you can:

* Create new zones.
* Edit or delete existing zones.
* Map workflow checks to a zone for automated compliance tracking.
* View and update workflow check assignments for each zone.
