Sentinel · forensic analysis

The forensic scan engine built for the Privacy Act.

Feed Sentinel a log from almost any source — a recognised vendor or a raw export. It reconstructs the full attack chain, maps every finding to the APPs, Essential Eight and ISM controls, and scores breach-notifiability under the NDB scheme — before the 30-day clock matters.

Capabilities

What Sentinel does, in twelve features.

Each one corresponds to a specific control obligation under the Privacy Act, the SOCI Act, or the ASD ISM. Not generic SIEM features — the controls your regulator actually asks about.

Universal ingest

Push (Splunk HEC, syslog/TLS, OTLP) or pull (Graph API, Okta System Log, CloudTrail, Defender, CrowdStrike FDR), with a hardened on-prem connector for air-gapped sites.

Attack-chain reconstruction

A temporal property graph links events across identity, endpoint, network and SaaS surfaces. MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping with kill-chain visualisation.

APP 11.1 detection

Built-in rules for unauthorised PII access, bulk export, retention violation and improper destruction — each mapped to the responsible Australian Privacy Principle.

Essential Eight posture

Continuous control attestation for all 8 ASD mitigations. A Maturity Level 1 → 3 evidence pack produced automatically each month.

NDB scoring

For each incident, an estimated affected-individual count and serious-harm probability — informs your OAIC notification decision before the 30-day clock matters.

Deliverable engine

One scan → four deliverables: 90-day IT plan, board brief, HR summary and a draft OAIC memo. All grounded in the deterministic findings and citation-traceable.

Vendor remediation cards

Per finding, a screenshot-illustrated fix card for the actual vendor product (PAN-OS, Defender, CrowdStrike…), scraped weekly from vendor docs with currency stamps.

PII classification

A regex + ML classifier tags every field at ingest — PII / SENSITIVE / HEALTH / FINANCIAL / CREDENTIAL. Tags drive retention and access policy automatically.

Per-tenant isolation

Encryption at rest with per-tenant keys and strict tenant boundaries, so one customer's data is never readable from another customer's context.

Australian residency

Australian-owned and Australian-hosted, end to end. Your logs — and the analysis of them — stay on Kaitiaki-controlled Australian infrastructure. Nothing is sent to a third-party service.

Tamper-evident audit log

Every authentication, authorisation decision, admin action and data export is written to an append-only, hash-chained audit trail, designed so any tampering is detectable.

Deterministic on rails

Detection logic is deterministic Sigma + our Compliance Detection Language. LLMs only narrate — they never decide whether a breach occurred. Every claim is traceable.

Sources

Reads 50+ source types — connector or not.

Sentinel doesn't need a bespoke integration to read your logs — it ingests standard exports (CSV, JSON, syslog, Windows EVTX, ZIP) directly, and auto-detects and normalises 50+ vendor formats. Recognised sources include:

Identity — Entra ID, Okta, Ping, Cisco Duo, Yubico
EDR — CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Defender, Carbon Black
Network — PAN-OS, FortiGate, Cisco ASA/Firepower, Check Point, F5
Cloud — AWS CloudTrail/GuardDuty, GCP Cloud Audit, Azure Defender
SaaS — Microsoft 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, GitHub, Slack
SIEM — Splunk, Sumo Logic, Datadog, Elastic, Panther, Wiz, Lacework
Deliverables

Four outputs from a single scan. All yours.

Four aligned artefacts that say the same thing in different registers — so your IT team, board, HR lead and legal counsel are reading from one evidence trail.

90-day IT Action Plan — Gantt-style remediation grouped by E8 uplift target
Board Brief — one A4 page, board language, risk in dollars + regulatory terms
HR Brief — people-and-process impact; never names individuals absent a clear breach
Draft OAIC Memo — filled against the OAIC template, watermarked DRAFT for legal review

One-week posture scan, then decide.

Most engagements start with a single-week scan against your existing telemetry, scoped to APP 11.1 and Essential Eight ML1–ML2. You see your posture, you keep every artefact, you choose what comes next.
