For the person who keeps it all running — on a box you own, inside your own walls.
Sentinel runs on an appliance inside your own network. The telemetry it collects — and any credentials it uses — stay on that box, on your premises. Nothing is shipped off to a vendor's cloud to be monitored.
Keep network visibility for school systems in-house, aligned with how you already protect student information.
Public-safety and justice-adjacent systems stay monitored locally — no telemetry leaving your jurisdiction.
An always-current, on-premise record of your environment for audits and open-records readiness.
No dashboards to decode and no jargon to learn. Sentinel does four things — and tells you about them in language anyone on your team can act on.
Automatically discovers every switch, firewall, access point, and server — and keeps the list current.
Watches around the clock and tells you when something's wrong — often before staff or students notice.
Explains what happened, where, and what to do next — grounded in real device data, not guesswork.
Generates clean, current reports for audits, leadership, and budget conversations — without the spreadsheet work.
ShadowPine's founder keeps a large, distributed county network running every day — the same kind of multi-site, lean-staffed, accountable-to-the-public environment you work in. Sentinel was built to solve those problems first, not adapted to them later.
That background also includes years of U.S. federal network work and an active Top Secret/SCI clearance — so keeping data in-house, documenting every change, and getting it right are built into how Sentinel works.
You don't need a six-figure platform or a new server room. Sentinel is deliberately lightweight — and often runs on hardware you already have.
A mini-PC, or a VM on existing hardware, is enough. No rack and no rip-and-replace.
Pricing built for public budgets and lean teams — no per-device licensing surprises.
Third-party neutral. Sentinel monitors your existing equipment from any vendor.
We set up Sentinel inside your network, let it watch for 14 days, and hand you a plain-English Network Health Assessment. Built for schools and local government.
Run Sentinel on your real network for two weeks at no cost. Decide based on your own buildings — not a canned demo.
Telemetry and credentials stay on the appliance, on your premises. Nothing leaves for a vendor cloud.
