About Sentinel SCA
Sentinel SCA provides execution governance for autonomous systems by verifying identity, authority and policy before consequential actions are permitted to run. The tool intercepts proposed actions at a defined boundary, evaluates them against configured policies, and returns signed governance decisions that the executor must present before proceeding. Evidence of each decision is recorded in a tamper-evident ledger that captures the status, boundary and artifact for later inspection or forensic analysis. Governance is enforced only on integrated execution paths, meaning the tool does not block actions outside its defined scope. Sentinel operates at execution time rather than at design or deployment time, addressing the gap between a system’s capability to perform an action and the authorization to do so. The product is designed for teams that need verifiable control over automated decisions in production environments, particularly where financial, operational or security consequences are significant.

Frequently asked questions about Sentinel SCA
What does Sentinel SCA do?
Sentinel SCA provides execution governance for autonomous systems by verifying identity, authority, and policy before consequential actions are permitted to run. It intercepts proposed actions at a defined boundary, evaluates them against configured policies, and returns signed governance decisions that the executor must present before proceeding.
Who is Sentinel SCA designed for?
The tool is designed for teams that need verifiable control over automated decisions in production environments, particularly where financial, operational, or security consequences are significant.
How does Sentinel SCA enforce governance?
Sentinel operates at execution time rather than at design or deployment time, addressing the gap between a system’s capability to perform an action and the authorization to do so. Governance is enforced only on integrated execution paths, meaning actions outside its defined scope are not blocked.
What kind of evidence does Sentinel SCA provide?
Sentinel records evidence of each governance decision in a tamper-evident ledger, capturing the status, boundary, and artifact for later inspection or forensic analysis. Each row in the ledger includes a status, boundary, and artifact for verification.
Can Sentinel SCA be used in non-production environments?
Yes, Sentinel offers a free tier for individual builders to evaluate the tool in sandbox and non-production environments. This includes core governance controls such as agent identity verification and policy evaluation.
What integrations or APIs does Sentinel SCA support?
Sentinel provides a developer API where proposed actions can be sent through the /analyze endpoint. The tool evaluates identity, authority, and policy, then returns a signed governance decision for the protected path to consume.
