parse -> reason -> map -> reportSecurity operating model
SentryIQ keeps the operating model easy to understand: watch the environment, correlate the signals, then turn findings into remediation.
Monitor
Monitor device health, secure edge availability, firewall signals and key network services so issues are visible before they become outages or security gaps.
Respond
Build SOC operating routines around useful alerts, event correlation, SIEM use cases, endpoint telemetry and response handover.
Improve
Use assessment evidence, monitoring signals and testing outputs to prioritise the changes that make the network more resilient.
Consultant-led engineering
SentryIQ combines senior network security consultancy with practical automation, offline assessment, network monitoring, SOC workflows, event correlation and backup tooling, so findings become decisions your team can act on.
What we do
Use SentryIQ when you need experienced network security consultants, clear implementation detail and tools that simplify assessment, backup, monitoring and response workflows.
Secure network design
Define trust boundaries, secure internet edge patterns, segmentation, remote access, routing and inspection decisions with the operational detail needed for delivery.
Network automation
Automate checks, backup routines, assessment inputs, reporting tasks and remediation preparation so consultants and engineers can spend more time on judgement.
Firewall review
Parse exports locally, explain shadowed and redundant rules, map findings to recognised frameworks and prepare client-ready reporting.
Backup tooling
ConfigVault is a built preview Windows collector for scheduled, encrypted Palo Alto Networks firewall configuration backup across MSP operating routines.
Monitoring and response
Design monitoring routines, SOC triage paths, bespoke SIEM use cases, event correlation, ransomware protection workflows and EDR deployment patterns.
Testing and assurance
Use SentryIQ for practical security consultancy across penetration testing coordination, findings triage, remediation planning and follow-up assurance.
Visibility
Secure network work is rarely just one firewall. SentryIQ looks at how connectivity crosses users, branches, cloud services, data centres and internet edges, then translates that view into focused control improvements.
Synthetic example only: used to show how findings can be prioritised without exposing customer data.
Engagements
Practical help for secure design, multi-vendor firewall optimisation, network monitoring, SOC workflows, automation and technical assurance.
Design secure, understandable network environments with clear trust boundaries, policy intent and operational ownership.
Senior security consultancy for practical risk reduction, architecture decisions, control improvement and remediation planning.
Design, review and optimisation support across Cisco, Fortinet and Palo Alto firewall environments.
Automation for repeatable network and security operations, from checks and backups to reporting and remediation preparation.
Monitoring, alert triage and SOC-ready workflows for network, firewall, endpoint and security events.
Design SIEM use cases, correlation logic and alerting workflows that reflect real network and endpoint risk.
Evidence
Targeted ways to examine configuration quality, rulebase hygiene, inspection coverage and remediation planning.
Structured review of firewall configuration, policy intent, exposure, inspection and operational control maturity.
Review firewall configuration against practical, vendor-aware and organisation-specific best-practice expectations.
Find broad, redundant, unused or unclear policy entries and rebuild rulebases around intent and maintainability.
Introducing Sentry One
Analyse Palo Alto PAN-OS and Fortinet FortiGate exports locally, surface rulebase and protocol risks, map findings to the frameworks clients ask about, and produce a professional report.
ConfigVault
ConfigVault is a built preview Windows collector for scheduled, encrypted Palo Alto Networks firewall configuration backups with local folder, file share and Amazon S3 destination options.
RouteGuard
RouteGuard correlates network, cloud and DDoS alerts with topology, routing and change evidence, giving operations teams an explainable investigation path.
Recognised benchmarks
Sentry One relates technical findings to Cyber Essentials, PCI DSS v4.0, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, helping technical and governance teams work from the same evidence.
Framework views are indicative readiness mappings based on available firewall configuration evidence. They should be reviewed alongside wider organisational evidence and professional judgement.
