How we work

Sentinary explains the standards, technology and market of physical security to the people who work in it. These are the rules we follow.

We start from the sources

Every article cites at least two sources, and at least one is primary: a law, a technical standard, a regulator’s decision, an official figure. You will always find them at the bottom of the page, with links.

We do not rewrite other publications’ articles. We read them to see what the sector is talking about, then go to the original documents.

We adapt, we don’t translate

We publish in English, Italian and Spanish. Each version is adapted to its country: the laws, the bodies and the trade terms are different. If a topic does not apply to a market, it is not published there.

We use artificial intelligence, and we say so

Articles are prepared with the help of artificial intelligence tools, which we use to find sources, write drafts and adapt them across the three languages. An article is published only after its sources and facts have been checked.

We are independent of manufacturers

We do not publish press releases dressed up as articles. If a piece is sponsored, we will say so clearly.

We keep articles up to date

Standards change, and the articles change with them. We recheck them against the sources and, when something changes, update them with a new date. The updated date tells you when the article was last checked.

This site provides information, not legal or technical advice. Before making a decision about a system or a contract, check the current text of the standard.
