Add and Configure Workflow Checks
Add system-specific workflow checks in Sprinto to validate infrastructure security controls through periodic evidence.
Introduction
In addition to automated system checks, Sprinto supports workflow checks that require periodic evidence submissions to validate compliance. These checks are useful when:
- Manual validation is needed (e.g., for backup restoration tests)
- Evidence must be reviewed periodically
- Specific compliance controls are not covered by system integrations
Workflow checks can be applied to both integrated and non-integrated infrastructure systems.
Accessing Workflow Checks
- Go to Data Library → Infrastructure.
- In the Infra systems tab, select a specific system.
- Click Add workflow check.
You can also add checks from the Monitoring → Available checks tab across all systems.
Methods to Add Workflow Checks
| Method | When to Use |
|---|---|
| From template | Use a prebuilt Sprinto check with default tags |
| Single workflow check | Manually define one check for a system |
| Bulk upload | Add multiple checks at once via CSV |
| (Coming soon) Custom check templates | Build reusable check templates |
Configure the Workflow Check
After selecting your method, configure the following fields:
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Title | Name of the check (e.g., “Encryption Enabled on Storage”) |
| Description | Purpose of the check and what it covers |
| Instructions | Steps the assigned user must follow to perform the check and gather evidence |
| Check frequency | How often the check runs (e.g., Monthly, Quarterly) |
| Activates on | When the check becomes active |
| Assigned to | The staff member responsible for running the check |
| Evidence review | Toggle ON to route submissions to a reviewer before passing the check |
Once complete, click Add Check.
Managing Workflow Checks
Once a workflow check is active:
- It will appear under Monitoring → Active Checks
- The assigned owner receives reminder notifications
- Check status is Due until evidence is uploaded
- Evidence can include screenshots, PDFs, documents, or shared links
- Reviewers can mark the check as Passing, or request rework
Tips
- Use templates to save time when adding common checks like:
- Database encryption is enabled
- Disaster recovery is tested
- Use bulk upload when configuring multiple systems across providers
- Always assign a responsible stakeholder to avoid missed deadlines
