When Approval Meets Compliance, Magic Happens
Let’s cut to the chase: compliance teams are drowning in spreadsheets, while everyone else hates chasing down approvals. ApproveThis and Hyperproof fix both problems in one shot. Think of it like peanut butter and jelly—separately they’re good, together they’re unstoppable.
Hyperproof keeps your compliance house in order—controls, evidence, audits. ApproveThis slashes approval delays with automated workflows. Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve just built a self-cleaning compliance machine that actually works for teams instead of against them.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies
Companies between 50-5k employees hit a compliance wall fast. You’re big enough to need real processes, but small enough that “just hire more auditors” isn’t the answer. Here’s where stitching these tools together pays off:
- No more approval black holes: That new control in Hyperproof? It auto-triggers an approval chain in ApproveThis before anyone can “forget” to review it.
- Proof that doesn’t vanish: Approved requests in ApproveThis automatically attach docs to Hyperproof controls. Auditors stop breathing down your neck.
Bonus: ApproveThis approvers don’t need Hyperproof licenses. Perfect for bringing in external auditors or department heads without buying extra seats.
Real-World Fixes for Teams Who Hate Red Tape
Use Case 1: Killing Control Chaos
The problem: Your team adds a new SOC 2 control in Hyperproof. Three weeks later, security finds it’s missing two approvals. Cue audit panic.
The fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow the second the control is created. Legal, security, and department heads get email approvals (no logins needed). Approved? Hyperproof auto-marks it ready. Denied? Comments sync back for fixes.
Who wins: Tech companies scaling fast. Healthcare orgs dealing with HIPAA. Any team where “oops” isn’t an option.
Use Case 2: Label Approval Without the Mess
The problem: Marketing slaps a “GDPR-compliant” label on a doc in Hyperproof. Legal finds out post-launch. Damage control ensues.
The fix: New Hyperproof label? ApproveThis fires off a review to legal/compliance. They approve/reject via email in 60 seconds. No more rogue labeling.
Who wins: Financial firms managing disclaimers. Product teams shipping regulated features. Basically anyone tired of playing compliance whack-a-mole.
Use Case 3: Audit-Proofing Without the Scramble
The problem: Auditors ask for proof a request was approved. You spend hours digging through Slack and old emails.
The fix: When ApproveThis approves something, Zapier pushes the decision + docs straight into Hyperproof’s evidence library. Next audit? Click. Done.
Who wins: Public companies prepping for SOX. Startups eyeing an acquisition. Any leadership team that wants to sleep at night.
Features You’ll Actually Use (No Bloat Here)
We’re not here to sell you features you’ll never touch. These matter when paired with Hyperproof:
Approval Thresholds
Example: Auto-approve controls under $5k risk score. Anything higher escalates to the CFO. Hyperproof stays updated either way.
Vacation Delegation
Your compliance lead’s on PTO? ApproveThis shifts their approvals to the backup without missing Hyperproof deadlines.
Calculated Fields
Risk score from Hyperproof? ApproveThis can auto-calculate if it needs VP review based on your formula. No human math errors.
Setup That Doesn’t Require a PhD
If you can make a sandwich, you can connect these tools:
- Grab your Hyperproof and ApproveThis logins
- In Zapier, pick a trigger (like “New Control in Hyperproof”)
- Choose ApproveThis as the action (“Create Approval Request”)
- Map Hyperproof fields to ApproveThis (takes 2 minutes)
- Test with a real control. Pop the champagne when it works.
Total time? Less than a coffee break. Maintenance? Zilch—it just runs.
Who Gets Their Life Back
Compliance Teams
Stop being the approval police. Now requests route automatically, and every decision is audit-logged in Hyperproof. You just handle exceptions.
Department Heads
Approve stuff from your inbox during airport layovers. No digging through Hyperproof or tracking down context.
IT & Security
Fewer frantic “approve this ASAP” tickets. Plus, everything’s documented when regulators come knocking.
The Bottom Line (No Fluff)
ApproveThis + Hyperproof via Zapier isn’t about flashy features. It’s about:
- Closing compliance gaps before they become fires
- Shaving hours off approval wait times
- Making auditors slightly less scary
If your compliance process still runs on hope and sticky notes, it’s time to upgrade. Register for ApproveThis or grab a demo to see how painless this can be.
Pro tip: Start with one integration (like control approvals). When the team sees how much time they save, they’ll beg you to connect everything else.
