How We Work

The Sentinel
Method

A structured six-phase engagement methodology — from confidential intake through written report delivery. Every phase is designed to build a complete, accurate picture of your security posture before a single recommendation is made.

The Sentinel Method six-phase engagement methodology
01
Phase 1 · Initial Consultation

Confidential Intake

Every engagement begins with a confidential consultation to understand your situation, concerns, and objectives. We discuss your property, family structure, professional profile, and known or suspected threat factors.

  • Confidential intake call or in-person meeting
  • Threat factor identification and prioritization
  • Scope definition and engagement planning
  • Engagement agreement and confidentiality terms
02
Phase 2 · Threat Modeling

Who Would Target You — and Why

Before we set foot on your property, we build a threat model defining realistic adversary types relevant to your profile — opportunistic, targeted, or specific — and the information each would need to act against you.

  • Adversary type identification
  • Motivation and capability assessment
  • Operational timeline and resource requirements analysis
  • Threat model documentation
03
Phase 3 · On-Site Physical Assessment

Your Property Through Adversary Eyes

We approach, observe, and document your property the way a motivated threat actor would, identifying surveillance positions, approach routes, concealment zones, entry vulnerabilities, lighting deficiencies, and response gaps.

  • Perimeter and access-point evaluation
  • Adversary approach route and surveillance mapping
  • Concealment-zone and lighting deficiency documentation
  • Camera blind-spot, hardware, and safe-room review
04
Phase 4 · OSINT & Digital Review

What the Internet Knows About You

We conduct a structured open-source intelligence sweep to determine what a motivated individual can discover about you, your family, and your property from public information.

  • Property and address exposure assessment
  • Social-media operational-security review
  • Family member digital exposure identification
  • Business and public-record cross-referencing
05
Phase 5 · Analysis & Prioritization

Risk-Ranked Findings

Findings from the physical assessment, threat model, and digital review are synthesized and ranked by risk, distinguishing immediate vulnerabilities from lower-priority improvements.

  • Finding synthesis across all dimensions
  • Risk ranking: Critical / High / Moderate / Low
  • Cost-benefit analysis of remediation options
  • Implementation sequencing and prioritization
06
Phase 6 · Written Report Delivery

Clear, Actionable Recommendations

Every Sentinel engagement concludes with a structured written report documenting findings, risk classifications, and implementable recommendations. We debrief the report with you so each next step is understood.

  • Structured written report with all findings
  • Specific implementable recommendations
  • Vendor-neutral guidance where applicable
  • Debrief session and implementation follow-up
