↑ Actual output. GDPR-compliant redaction applied automatically. Immutable hash chain prevents post-hoc modification.
For the FCA / SEC
Structured XML aligned to ESMA DATEX II and SEC Rule 17a-4. Accepted by all major regulators without re-formatting.
For your legal team
SHA-256 hash chain on every evidence package. Tamper-evident. Court-admissible. No expert witness required.
For your COO
Board-ready PDF summary generated alongside technical export. Mean time from alert to filed report: 4.2 minutes.
"The last time the FCA came in, our response pack was ready before their second email. Sentinel's audit trail is the first thing I show every new board member."
