Identity and compliance consulting for organizations that get audited.
SentinelNex is an IT consulting and services firm that helps healthcare systems and other regulated organizations design defensible identity architecture, secure Microsoft Azure environments, and prepare for HIPAA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, and ISO 27001 assessments — led end-to-end by senior consultants who show up to the audit with you.
Seven disciplines, one accountable team
Identity, cloud architecture, and compliance are usually handled by separate vendors who don't talk to each other. We treat them as one problem.

Hospitals, health systems, and medical practices are one primary focus: organizations where a HIPAA finding or a ransomware event isn't a headline, it's a patient-safety issue. Defense contractors preparing for CMMC are the other: organizations where a failed assessment can mean a lost contract. We bring the same rigor to finance and professional services firms carrying similar regulatory weight.

A defensible process, not a checklist exercise
Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence — the same one an auditor will expect to see evidence of.
Discovery & Risk Assessment
We map your environment, data flows, and existing controls against the relevant framework.
Gap Analysis
A control-by-control gap assessment with findings prioritized by risk, not alphabetical order.
Remediation
Hands-on implementation of IAM controls, Azure hardening, and policy work — not just a PDF of recommendations.
Audit Support & Monitoring
We sit with you through the assessment, then keep your posture current as frameworks and infrastructure evolve.
What a CISO actually wants from a consulting partner
Senior-led, start to finish
The consultant who scopes your engagement is the one in the room for remediation and the audit itself — no handoff to a junior team you've never met.
Frameworks, not opinions
Every recommendation maps to a specific control in HIPAA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, or ISO 27001 — defensible if an auditor asks why.
Built for regulated data
Our engagement practices are built around handling PHI, CUI, and other sensitive data the way your own policies require.
