Sentinel Unity
Telecom & ICT

GRC for telecom operators

Telecom risk is a volume problem. Thousands of assets, a long supplier chain, and assessments that have to reach sites rather than sit in a central team. Sentinel Unity runs recurring field campaigns that feed the register directly.

Industry challenges

Where telecom programmes strain

Scale turns manageable processes into unmanageable ones, and the coordination cost is usually where programmes fail.

Assessment at network scale

Central teams cannot personally assess every site, so the work has to be delegated without losing consistency or traceability.

A supplier chain several layers deep

Equipment vendors, software providers, and managed-service partners each carry dependencies of their own that rarely appear in the contract.

Findings raised faster than they close

Volume is not the problem so much as sequence: knowing which remediation must happen before another can start.

Indicators that arrive too late

A metric reported quarterly tells you about a threshold you crossed months ago, long after the decision point.

Network operations against corporate IT

Two operating cultures, one regulator, and a single register that has to make sense to both.

Repeating the same assessment

Annual cycles get rebuilt from scratch each year because last year's questionnaire has no version and no owner.

Platform value

Built for scale

Cyber Field Assessment

Recurring campaigns with delegation

Questionnaire templates carry revisions, campaigns carry recurrence patterns, and an assignee can delegate onward while the trail stays intact.

Cyber Field Assessment

Field results become register risks

A campaign can propose a risk back into the register, so what an engineer finds on site does not stop at a completed form.

Enterprise Risk

Indicators with thresholds

Key risk and performance indicators hold their own thresholds, so a breach is an event the platform raises rather than something noticed at the next review.

Findings

Remediation with dependencies

Plans can depend on other plans, which makes the order of work explicit and stops a queue being worked in the wrong sequence.

Third-Party Risk

Fourth-party visibility

Record who your suppliers depend on, so concentration that sits one level below your contracts is visible before it becomes an incident.

Frameworks & Controls

Custom controls beside the standards

Requirements specific to your network are created as company-scoped controls with their own identifiers and authorship trail, mapped alongside published standards.
