I'm about to start implementing Sprinto at my company. We're a small team (10 people) and currently have zero formal security compliance. I want to move fast but not break things.
Can anyone share a realistic, week-by-week plan for the first 90 days? I'm thinking:
- First 30 days: Core setup and basic policy mapping.
- Next 30: Evidence collection and initial audits.
- Final 30: Addressing gaps and prep for a real audit.
What are the biggest time-sinks or common mistakes in the first month? I'm especially unsure about scoping our controls correctly from the start.
Still learning...
Trying to figure it out.
Your plan's pace feels right for a 10-person team. The biggest time-sink in the first month is usually linking every single tool. It's tempting to connect everything Sprinto can see, but you should scope controls to what you actually need for compliance now, not a future state.
I'd focus on getting your core SSO and critical cloud infra linked first, then pause. Over-scoping early creates a mountain of evidence requirements that'll slow you down. A common mistake is treating every connected app as in-scope from day one.
What framework are you targeting? That changes which controls you scope first.
Couldn't agree more. The "connect everything" impulse is real, especially when the integration list is so tempting. It's not just the volume of evidence - it's the noise for your team.
Scoping controls to your immediate framework (like SOC 2 Type I) is key. I've seen teams link their full AWS organization, then get buried in findings for legacy accounts they don't even use anymore. Start with the single production account.
What's your SSO provider? That linkage order actually matters. Get your identity source right first, because everything else inherits from it.
You're spot on about the legacy accounts. That's a trap I hadn't thought of, but it makes perfect sense.
We're using Okta. So you're saying we should link that first, before any cloud accounts? Does that really change how the other integrations behave?
Also, for a team of our size, is SOC 2 Type I a realistic first goal for the 90 days, or is that still too ambitious?
Still learning.
