Audits
Overview
Manage compliance, internal, and custom audits effortlessly with Sprinto’s centralised audit management platform.
Sprinto’s Audit module empowers your organisation to manage audits confidently and systematically. Whether you're undergoing a compliance audit, internal assessment, or external review, the Audits section centralises all related activities—enabling InfoSec teams, auditors, and business stakeholders to collaborate effectively.
This module supports both partner audits, which are linked to specific frameworks (such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR), and custom audits, which can be tailored to suit internal policies or third-party requests.
Key Benefits
- Streamlined management of audit tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities.
- Real-time visibility into audit progress and evidence collection.
- Automated documentation and reporting, reducing manual overhead.
- Seamless auditor collaboration, with granular access control.
- Integrated with controls and evidence across your systems via Sprinto’s compliance engine.
Types of Audits in Sprinto
| Audit Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Partner Audit | Tied to a compliance framework (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001). Uses pre-defined requirements mapped to controls. |
| Custom Audit | Flexible audit setup, allowing you to define your own checklist or respond to ad hoc auditor requests. |
You can access Custom Audits only if you are on Plan 3 or Plan 4. Users on Plan 1 or Plan 2 have access to Partner Audits only.
