About Sentinel Forged

Security, built to scale with you.

Sentinel Forged helps organizations establish a durable cybersecurity foundation—so you can grow with confidence. Founded in 2025 and operating primarily remote across Virginia and North Carolina, we serve clients across the U.S. with practical, standards-aligned security.

Proactive foundation

We design controls up front—identity, data, and logging—so you’re not chasing threats later.

Least-privilege by default

Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and AWS configured correctly with guardrails and minimum access.

Incident-ready

Playbooks, tabletops, and recovery patterns that minimize downtime when minutes matter.

Our approach

Built with purpose. Security isn’t an add-on—it’s a foundation aligned to business outcomes.

From the ground up. We replace patchwork with coherent architecture across identity, endpoints, data, and observability.

Prepared for incidents. Clear playbooks, tested regularly, and practical recovery paths.

Are you available for rapid incident response?

Yes—engagements can begin with a lightweight readiness call and a short-term IR retainer while we establish logging and access.

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?

Both. We right-size controls and documentation to your stage so you can pass audits and move quickly.
