How It Works

From Fragmented Spreadsheets to Governance Intelligence in Days

Every SentinelIQ deployment follows a proven four-stage journey from instant onboarding and policy setup, to real-time supplier tracking, automated risk signals, and audit-ready governance reporting all with zero compliance expertise required.

Onboard and connect SentinelIQ platform
STEP 01

Onboard & Configure

Connect SentinelIQ to your organisation in minutes. Upload policies, add your supplier roster, and invite your team no IT department required. Role-based access live from day one.

Policy accountability engine compliance tracking
STEP 02

Track Policy Accountability

Distribute policies digitally and monitor employee acknowledgements in real time. Automated escalations chase unacknowledged policies, and coverage rates update the moment staff confirm.

Supplier reliability engine risk monitoring
STEP 03

Monitor Supplier Reliability

Log supplier issues by category, track delivery timeliness, and watch reliability scores update automatically. Alerts fire when supplier behaviour patterns cross risk thresholds before disruption hits.

Governance intelligence dashboard health score
STEP 04

Act on Intelligence & Report

Your Governance Health Score consolidates all risk signals into one number. Export audit-ready governance reports in under five minutes timestamped, categorised, and defensible to regulators.

Core Engines

Three Engines. One Governance Intelligence Layer.

SentinelIQ combines three proprietary modules into a single governance intelligence infrastructure the only platform that unifies internal policy accountability and external supplier reliability into a composite Governance Health Score for SMEs.

Policy accountability engine
Engine 01

Policy Accountability Engine

Digitally distribute, version-control and track acknowledgements of every internal policy. Real-time coverage percentages, automated escalations, and an immutable audit log give leadership complete visibility.

Supports operational, HR, safety, data protection and compliance policy types. Configurable escalation thresholds. PDF/CSV export of acknowledgement evidence packs.
Supplier reliability engine
Engine 02

Supplier Reliability Engine

Log categorised supplier issues, track delivery timeliness, and watch our weighted scoring model compute reliability scores continuously. Risk alerts fire automatically when patterns exceed configured limits.

Issue categories include delivery delay, quality failure, communication failure, and contractual breach. Recency-weighted scoring ensures recent events carry more weight than historical outliers.
Governance intelligence dashboard health score
Engine 03

Governance Intelligence Dashboard

A composite Governance Health Score (0–100) unifies signals from both engines into a three-band risk view Healthy (green), At Risk (amber), Critical (red) updated in real time for leadership action.

Pre-aggregated dashboard APIs for sub-second rendering. Exportable governance snapshot reports. Configurable weightings per tenant for sector-specific tuning.
Our Mission

Governance Intelligence Built from Operational Reality

SentinelIQ was born from a simple, frustrating observation: expanding UK SMEs face real governance risk every day fragmented spreadsheets, email-tracked policies, and supplier issues noticed only after disruption yet no platform existed to give them the same governance intelligence that large enterprises take for granted.

Our platform transforms governance from a record-keeping burden into an active intelligence operation. We don't just store documents we convert daily governance events into quantifiable risk signals that drive leadership decisions. When a supplier's reliability score drops or a critical policy has a 35% acknowledgement gap, SentinelIQ tells you immediately and gives you the evidence to act.

Founded by two professionals who lived these governance failures in engineering, manufacturing, and customer operations environments, SentinelIQ is domain knowledge encoded in software not a generic compliance tool retrofitted for SMEs.

The Platform

Every Layer of SentinelIQ's Governance Intelligence

SentinelIQ is a multi-tenant SaaS platform built on a modular monolith architecture React frontend, NestJS backend, PostgreSQL with row-level tenant isolation, and AWS cloud infrastructure designed to serve SMEs from 20 to 200 employees without any compliance expertise.

Policy management acknowledgement tracking
Module 01

Policy Accountability Engine

CRUD policy management with version history, role-based distribution, timestamped digital acknowledgements, and real-time coverage calculation. Immutable audit log captures every policy event.

Cron-based escalation scheduler for non-acknowledgement thresholds. Exportable PDF/CSV acknowledgement evidence packs. Supports operational, HR, safety, data protection, and compliance policy types. Configurable escalation windows per policy criticality level.
Supplier risk scoring reliability monitoring
Module 02

Supplier Reliability Engine

Supplier profiles, categorised issue logging (delivery delay, quality failure, communication failure, contractual breach), delivery timeliness monitoring, and a weighted recency-aware reliability scoring engine.

Risk alert engine triggers notifications when supplier scores breach configured thresholds. Issue frequency, recency, and severity all feed the weighting model. Portfolio-average scores surface supplier risk trends before they cause disruption. Informed by real FMEA and RCA methodology.
Governance intelligence dashboard score
Module 03

Governance Health Dashboard

Composite Governance Health Score (0–100) aggregated from both engines via a normalised, weighted signal processor. Three-band risk view: Healthy (green), At Risk (amber), Critical (red).

Pre-aggregated dashboard data APIs for sub-second rendering. Exportable governance snapshots in PDF/CSV. Daily score records for trend analysis. Configurable weights stored per-tenant for sector-specific calibration. Colour-coded risk indicators on all mobile screen sizes.
Data security GDPR compliance audit
Module 04

Security & Audit Architecture

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, JWT authentication with refresh token rotation, and server-side RBAC enforcement. Immutable event logs for all data mutations critical for dispute evidence.

GDPR compliance with UK/EU data residency, right-to-erasure workflows, and privacy-by-design data minimisation. API rate limiting against abuse. Pre-launch penetration testing scheduled. ICO registration completed.
notification alerts escalation governance
Module 05

Risk Signal & Notification Layer

Automated risk signal processing transforms raw governance events into directional alerts. Three supplier delays in 60 days triggers an alert not just a data point. One critical policy below 60% coverage is flagged as exposure, not an admin note.

Notification centre for overdue acknowledgements, supplier risk escalations, and governance score deterioration. AWS SES transactional email for escalation reminders. Webhook system for third-party automation integrations (Year 2). Batch escalation reminders dispatched with a single click.
cloud AWS infrastructure scalability
Module 06

Cloud Infrastructure & Integrations

AWS primary cloud with RDS PostgreSQL, S3 document storage, CloudWatch monitoring, and Secrets Manager. Docker + AWS ECS single-region MVP deployment with multi-region roadmap from Year 2.

GitHub Actions CI/CD with separate staging and production environments from day one. Year 2 integrations: BambooHR, HiBob (HR sync), Xero/QuickBooks (supplier payment cross-reference), SAML 2.0/OAuth 2.0 SSO. Redis caching for session management and dashboard data aggregation.
Proprietary IP

The Governance Health Scoring Algorithm

SentinelIQ's composite scoring engine is a proprietary multi-variable weighting model. Inputs policy acknowledgement coverage, open supplier issue count, portfolio-average supplier reliability scores, response time to escalations, and recency weighting are normalised to a 0–100 scale, weighted by configurable importance coefficients, and combined into a single Governance Health Score.

An independent prior art search across international patent databases using Patseer confirmed that no existing patent disclosure individually or in combination covers the five key novel elements of the SentinelIQ framework. A formal UK patent application is actively in preparation with the IPO.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need a compliance team to use SentinelIQ?

+
No. SentinelIQ is specifically designed for SME operations managers and directors without compliance backgrounds. The dashboard-first layout, colour-coded risk indicators, and minimal-click workflows mean you get immediate governance intelligence without any specialist training. Our design principle: an untrained SME manager should understand their governance posture within 10 minutes of opening the platform.

How is SentinelIQ different from HR software like BambooHR or PeopleHR?

+
HR platforms treat policies as documents they distribute them but don't analyse governance risk patterns or integrate supplier oversight data. SentinelIQ treats governance as an intelligence operation. We convert policy acknowledgement rates and supplier issue patterns into directional risk signals that tell leadership what to do next not just what happened.

How quickly can we generate an audit-ready governance report?

+
Under five minutes. SentinelIQ maintains an immutable, timestamped audit history of all governance activities policy versions, acknowledgement history, supplier issue records, escalation responses and bundles them into a formatted, exportable evidence pack on demand. No manual retrieval, no formatting work.

Is our governance data secure and GDPR-compliant?

+
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Data is hosted in UK/EU AWS regions. We implement privacy-by-design data minimisation, right-to-erasure workflows, and ICO-registered data handling practices. Penetration testing is planned pre-launch and annually thereafter.

Can I try SentinelIQ before committing to a paid plan?

+
Yes we are currently onboarding 5–7 pilot SMEs for a three-month programme at discounted or limited-cost access. Pilot participants receive full platform access, dedicated onboarding support, structured feedback sessions, and priority consideration for case study development. Contact us to express your interest.
