# Add and Configure Workflow Checks

### 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

1. Go to **Data Library → Infrastructure**.
2. In the **Infra systems** tab, select a specific system.
3. Click **Add workflow check**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also add checks from the **Monitoring → Available checks** tab across all systems.
{% endhint %}

### 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:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="187.79296875"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Field</strong></td><td><strong>Details</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Title</strong></td><td>Name of the check (e.g., “Encryption Enabled on Storage”)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Description</strong></td><td>Purpose of the check and what it covers</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Instructions</strong></td><td>Steps the assigned user must follow to perform the check and gather evidence</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Check frequency</strong></td><td>How often the check runs (e.g., Monthly, Quarterly)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Activates on</strong></td><td>When the check becomes active</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Assigned to</strong></td><td>The staff member responsible for running the check</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Evidence review</strong></td><td>Toggle ON to route submissions to a reviewer before passing the check</td></tr></tbody></table>

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
