Our Method

Laboratory discipline, applied to AI.

Accredited laboratories survive on four habits. Our founders run an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited, DEA-registered laboratory — so those habits are how Sentinel was built, not a value we aspire to.

Structural impartiality

Independence that is organizational, not promised. We sell no AI products and take no vendor referral fees.

Validated methods

Scoring anchored to published frameworks — NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001/42005/23894, OWASP — before any engagement begins.

Evidence with custody

Findings traceable to documented evidence your auditors can follow — the same chain-of-custody habit our lab lives under.

Reproducible findings

Reports a third party could re-derive — including when the finding is “you’re in better shape than you feared.”

The Sentinel Control Map™

Our assessment engine: 47 NIST AI RMF subcategories cross-walked to ISO/IEC 42001 clauses and Annex A controls, scored 0–4 on a defined maturity rubric. One pass produces your NIST posture, your 42001 readiness, and your safe-harbor narrative simultaneously.
