How do I get Sprinto's policy templates?

They come with the Sprinto platform. Once a framework is enabled, Sprinto's Policies module offers pre-filled templates mapped to it, which you customize in the built-in editor and send for approval. Template policies carry predefined control mappings.

How much does Sprinto cost?

Sprinto's documentation lists no prices and says billing is based on the frameworks you enable, so ask Sprinto for a quote. We do not quote third-party estimates. For comparison, Policyseed's 22 policies are free under Apache-2.0, the Audit Kit is $59 one time, and the Agency license is $199 one time for five companies.

Can I bring Policyseed policies into Sprinto?

Sprinto's documentation describes uploading a policy as a non-editable PDF, syncing policies from Confluence or SharePoint, and writing a policy in its built-in editor. Policyseed has no integration with Sprinto, so you upload or paste each policy yourself and map it to controls after approval.

Should I use Sprinto or Policyseed?

They do different jobs. Sprinto is a compliance automation platform: integrations, automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring, approvals and acknowledgment tracking, training and audit partners, with policy templates as one module. Policyseed produces the policy documents and nothing else. If you need the platform, start from its templates or bring ours; if you only need the documents, Policyseed is enough.

Sprinto policy templates: what you get, and where Policyseed fits

Updated 25 October 2026

People search for Sprinto policy templates while they evaluate Sprinto or before they buy a compliance platform. This page sets out what Sprinto’s templates are and how you get them, what Policyseed offers by comparison, when Sprinto is the right choice, and how to use both. The two do different jobs: Sprinto runs a compliance program, and Policyseed writes the policy documents.

Every statement about Sprinto is taken from Sprinto’s own public pages and help center, with the source numbered in brackets. Policyseed is not affiliated with Sprinto.

Who Sprinto is for

Sprinto describes itself as a security compliance automation platform for cloud-hosted companies, built for startups seeking first-time compliance, growth-stage companies, enterprises, and audit and infosec teams.^[4]

What Sprinto’s policy templates are

Sprinto offers pre-filled policy templates mapped to the frameworks you enable, such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and you can customize them before sending them for approval.^[1]
The framework-specific templates and Sprinto's document library, which holds framework-required documents such as an ISMS scope, need at least one enabled framework.^[3]
Policies created from templates come with predefined control mappings that cannot be changed. For other policies you map controls yourself or let Sprinto AI suggest them.^[1]
Each policy has one approver and can have several reviewers who comment. Once approved, a policy is active, and you change an active policy by creating a new version.^[1]
Sprinto's policy approvals can follow multi-step approval paths, with reminders sent from the policy view.^[6]
Sprinto's April 2026 update added a plain-language summary of key clauses to every out-of-the-box policy, and listed AI tailoring of policies to your industry, business model, tools and controls as available behind a feature flag.^[7]
You track acknowledgment by employee and by policy, and can send acknowledgment requests to selected staff or to groups from your identity provider.^[1]

How you get them

The templates are part of the Sprinto platform: you add them from the Policies module once a framework is enabled in your account.^[3]
Sprinto's documentation lists no prices. Its getting-started FAQ says billing is based on the frameworks you enable.^[2]

For current pricing, see Sprinto’s pricing page. We do not quote third-party price estimates.

What Policyseed is, by comparison

Policyseed is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0) SOC 2 policy generator. You answer 23 questions and your browser renders 22 policies as Markdown, with no account and nothing stored on a server. The optional Audit Kit ($59, one time) rewrites sections 4 and 5 of each policy around the tools you named and adds Word files, a criteria crosswalk, starter registers, an acknowledgment form and a review calendar.

Policyseed does not connect to your systems, collect evidence, monitor controls, track approvals or acceptance, or introduce you to auditors. It produces documents that your team owns and maintains.

You can read every policy before you decide: the template index lists all 22, the sample shows the Audit Kit output for a fictional company, and the Audit Kit page lists every file in the ZIP.

When Sprinto is the right choice

A compliance platform earns its cost through what happens after the policies are written. From Sprinto’s own pages:

Sprinto's documentation describes integrations with cloud providers, HR systems, source control and ticketing tools, automated evidence collection, and continuous monitoring of controls, assets, users and infrastructure.^[4]
The platform also covers an audit workspace, risk management, access reviews and a trust center, across SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS and other frameworks.^[4]
Sprinto works with a network of audit partners, both audit firms and individual CPAs, who review evidence in a dedicated auditor dashboard.^[5]
Built-in training campaigns and an onboarding workflow track each new hire's assigned policies, training and device checks.^[2]

If you expect to repeat the examination every year, have many systems to pull evidence from, plan to add frameworks, or have customers asking for ongoing assurance, Sprinto can save more time than any template. In that case starting from Sprinto’s own templates is reasonable, because they are already mapped to its controls. Policyseed does none of that work; it is a document generator.

How to use both

A common pattern is to write the policies first, with an owner for each, and bring them into the platform when you adopt one. Sprinto’s help center describes how:

You can upload an existing policy as a PDF. Uploaded PDFs cannot be edited in Sprinto, so a change means uploading a new file.^[3]
You can sync policies from Confluence or SharePoint by labeling them; synced documents arrive as non-editable PDFs in draft.^[3]
Control mapping for an uploaded document is allowed once the document is approved.^[1]

You have two routes. To keep a policy editable in Sprinto, paste its text into the built-in editor and check the headings and tables afterward. To keep your own formatting, upload it as a PDF: export the Audit Kit's ($59) Word files to PDF, or open the free generator's Markdown in a word processor and save it as PDF. Sprinto will not edit an uploaded PDF, so keep the Word or Markdown original for later changes, and map each policy to its controls once it is approved.

Whichever route you take, management approves the policies and a licensed CPA firm performs the SOC 2 examination. Neither tool replaces either step.
