# 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.

#### Global zone filter

Use the global zone filter to view dashboard data for a specific zone across Sprinto.

The global zone filter is available at the top of the left navigation panel. By default, it displays the currently selected organisation and zone scope (for example, *All zones*).

When you select a zone from the filter dropdown, Sprinto automatically updates the dashboard and related modules to display data only for the selected zone. This helps teams focus on risks, assets, controls, and activities relevant to a specific business unit, location, or operational area.

**Filter dashboard data by zone**

1. Sign in to the Sprinto dashboard.
2. In the left navigation panel, click the global zone filter.

3. Select the required zone from the dropdown list.
4. View the dashboard data filtered for the selected zone.

To return to organisation-wide visibility, select **All zones** from the dropdown.
