Sentinel turns governance requirements into operational controls. Approvals, attestations, review cycles, action management, task routing, escalation, and monitoring checkpoints — the operating discipline of the Citadel platform.
Most organisations have governance policies. Very few have operational controls that enforce them. Review cycles slip. Attestations are missed. Escalations happen too late. The gap between policy and practice is where regulatory risk lives.
Structured approval workflows for AI system deployment, risk acceptance, and control changes. Named approvers. Auditable decision records. No more email chains.
Recurring review cycles for high-risk AI systems. Automatic task creation, assignment, and tracking. Overdue actions escalate. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Governance tasks routed to named individuals based on accountability matrices. Automatic escalation when deadlines pass. SM&CR-aligned accountability chains.
Continuous monitoring of governance controls. Drift detection, compliance status tracking, and automated alerts when controls degrade or evidence gaps emerge.
Sentinel is the operational heartbeat of the Citadel platform.
Confirmed risk classifications and obligation mappings from Aegis create operational tasks — review cycles, approval requests, and monitoring checkpoints.
Governance gaps identified by Atlas generate tasks in Sentinel. Missing evidence, uncontrolled obligations, and incomplete assessments become actionable work items.
Every completed task, approval, attestation, and review in Sentinel generates evidence artefacts that are automatically preserved in Archive.
Sentinel is deployed in Phase 2 alongside Aegis. Once your governance inventory and knowledge graph are in place (Phase 1), Sentinel operationalises governance — turning obligations into tasks, tasks into actions, and actions into evidence.
Sentinel guides every AI initiative through a structured process that ensures oversight without slowing innovation.
Capture AI initiatives systematically. Document purpose, scope, data requirements, and stakeholders from the start.
Assess risk proportionately. High-risk initiatives get deeper review; low-risk ones move faster. Resources focused where they matter.
Map initiatives against applicable regulations. EU AI Act, GDPR, industry-specific requirements — all tracked in one place.
Clear recommendations for decision-makers. Approve, modify, or pause — with full context and rationale.
Audit-ready documentation generated automatically. Every decision, every approval, every concern — recorded and traceable.
Purpose-built for regulated organisations deploying AI. Every feature designed for auditability and regulatory readiness.
Centralised inventory of AI systems with risk classification, ownership, and approval status. AI agent assists with initial population.
Structured templates aligned with EU AI Act, ICO guidance, and sector regulations. AI-guided completion with human judgement at key points.
No automated decisions about individuals. All escalations require documented human approval, enforced architecturally, not just by policy.
Every governance decision logged, time-stamped, and attributable. Cryptographic hashing ensures tamper-evident records that regulators trust.
Regulator-ready documentation automatically generated and exportable for inspections and audits. AI compiles, formats, and quality-checks all artefacts.
Interactive setup that walks you through use case registration, risk classification, and workflow configuration. No consultants required.
Most organisations have no systematic way to evaluate AI initiatives. Projects are approved based on enthusiasm, not evidence. Risks are discovered late — or not at all.
When regulators ask questions, teams scramble to reconstruct decisions. When something goes wrong, there’s no trail to follow.
This isn’t governance — it’s hope.
