ApproveThis manages your JustProtect approvals.

When Compliance Meets Velocity

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: moving fast without breaking things. For teams managing risk assessments, vendor approvals, or compliance workflows, this tension often plays out in email chains, missed deadlines, and manual handoffs between systems. ApproveThis and JustProtect solve this problem together through Zapier-powered automation that bridges approval management with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) workflows.

Why This Integration Matters

JustProtect centralizes risk assessments and compliance tasks, while ApproveThis structures approval processes with role-based routing, conditional logic, and real-time tracking. Together, they create closed-loop workflows where compliance checks trigger approvals, and approval outcomes update compliance records – all without manual data entry.

Key Business Benefits

For Regulated Industries: Healthcare providers can approve vendor risk assessments 68% faster while maintaining audit trails. Financial institutions reduce compliance bottlenecks in contract reviews by automatically escalating high-risk clauses.

For Scaling Startups: SaaS companies accelerate security questionnaire responses by linking pre-approved answers in JustProtect to client approval workflows in ApproveThis.

For Distributed Teams: Manufacturing firms use calculated approval thresholds to auto-approve low-risk equipment certifications while flagging high-cost items for executive review.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Instant Risk Assessment Reviews

When JustProtect receives a new vendor risk assessment, ApproveThis can automatically:

• Route the document to legal, infosec, and procurement teams based on risk score
• Apply conditional logic to require CISO approval for high-risk vendors
• Update JustProtect records with approval timestamps and comments

Example: A cybersecurity firm reduced third-party vendor onboarding from 14 days to 72 hours by linking JustProtect risk profiles to multi-department approval chains.

2. Audit-Proof Decision Logging

ApproveThis' real-time tracking dashboard syncs with JustProtect's audit trails, creating immutable records showing:

• Which approvers reviewed specific compliance controls
• Time-stamped decision rationales tied to regulatory requirements
• Automatic escalations for overdue approvals

Example: A fintech company passed their SOC 2 audit in half the usual time by correlating approval decisions with control implementations in JustProtect.

3. Cross-Platform Workflow Automation

Using Zapier, teams can build bi-directional workflows like:

Trigger: New high-risk finding in JustProtect
Action: Create approval request in ApproveThis with:
- Pre-populated risk mitigation options
- Auto-assigned approvers based on finding severity
- Deadline tied to compliance due date

Example: A healthcare provider automated 89% of HIPAA violation remediation approvals by syncing JustProtect risk levels with ApproveThis' escalation rules.

Team-Specific Advantages

Compliance Teams

ApproveThis' email-based approvals allow external auditors to review controls without needing access to JustProtect. Vacation delegation ensures continuity during extended reviews, while calculated fields auto-flag assessments requiring CCPA vs GDPR responses.

Procurement Teams

Approval thresholds in ApproveThis automatically approve low-risk purchases documented in JustProtect, while routing high-value contracts through legal. Real-time dashboards show which vendors are stuck in compliance vs commercial approval stages.

IT Security Teams

Link JustProtect's vendor security questionnaires to ApproveThis' consensus-based approvals. Multi-factor approval groups ensure both infrastructure and application security leads sign off on cloud tool evaluations.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes three steps through Zapier:

1. Connect: Create a Zapier account and authenticate both ApproveThis and JustProtect
2. Map: Set triggers like "New High-Risk Assessment" in JustProtect to "Create Approval Request" in ApproveThis
3. Automate: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate JustProtect data like risk scores or compliance deadlines

Pro Tip: Start with a single workflow like vendor risk approvals before scaling to complex scenarios like audit remediation tracking.

Why It Works Better Together

While JustProtect excels at centralizing compliance data, ApproveThis adds four critical capabilities:

1. External Collaboration: Clients or partners can approve documents via email without JustProtect licenses.
2. Conditional Routing: Auto-escalate approvals based on JustProtect's risk scores.
3. Deadline Enforcement: Sync approval SLAs with compliance due dates.
4. Unified Tracking: View approval status and audit trails in one dashboard.

Beyond Basic Approvals

Advanced teams combine ApproveThis features with JustProtect data for:

Auto-Closing Tickets: When approvals complete, update JustProtect records and trigger next steps like contract generation.
Dynamic Questionnaires: Use approval comments in ApproveThis to populate JustProtect assessment responses.
Compliance Reporting: Export approval metrics from ApproveThis into JustProtect's audit dashboards.
