About Sprinto

Sprinto says compliance often lands on startups with no owner. For those teams, Sprinto scopes a SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA program, connects to their systems, closes gaps, and works toward audit readiness. For companies already holding SOC 2 that now face ISO 27001, HIPAA requirements and several customer questionnaires, Sprinto runs the work as a continuous program. For larger organizations, Sprinto says it maintains a live, continuously validated trust posture across compliance, regulatory requirements, AI governance, and vendor risk.[1][13][14]

On the compliance side, Sprinto covers SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and 200+ global standards. A customer can upload an additional regulation or contract, and Sprinto translates it into controls. Sprinto monitors controls around the clock and, when something drifts, closes gaps, refreshes evidence, and routes approvals.

Sprinto also sells separate product pages for specific jobs. Policy management keeps policies current, sends updated policies to reviewers, and tracks who has read and accepted each policy. The audit management platform handles audit scope, evidence collection and verification, control health tracking, and auditor requests. Continuous monitoring watches systems, users, and vendors and keeps audit evidence current. Risk management connects risks to live controls, assets, and signals, and updates risk scores as security posture changes.[5][6][7][8]

For third parties, Sprinto's vendor risk management product keeps a live inventory and risk profile for every vendor. It finds vendors through browser, MDM, SSO, and API signals, assigns a risk tier, and starts the right review when risk changes. For AI governance, Sprinto keeps a live registry of AI tools, scores each tool by use case sensitivity and data exposure, and routes high risk tools to approvers. Sprinto maps the AI footprint to ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act.[1][9][10]

Sprinto also says customers get 1:1 guidance from ISO-certified lead auditors.[13]

On its own security, Sprinto runs on AWS, uses role-based access control and multi-factor authentication, and says Sprinto AI does not use customer data for training. Sprinto says it follows ISO 42001 principles for AI governance.[1][6][7][8][12][13][14][15]
