# Add Controls

In Sprinto, you can add new controls to define specific compliance requirements for your organisation. Controls can be created one at a time or imported in bulk, depending on your needs.

Adding controls ensures that compliance obligations are clearly documented, assigned to the right owners, and linked to relevant monitoring checks and frameworks.

### Add a Single Control

1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard and navigate to **Compliance > Controls**.
2. Click **Add New Control** and select **Add Control**.

3. Enter the following details:
   * **Control Number** – Unique identifier for the control.
   * **Control Name** – Short, descriptive title.
   * **Description** – Detailed explanation of the control’s purpose.
   * **Control Owner** – The person responsible for implementing and maintaining the control.
   * **Domain** – The relevant compliance domain or category.
