Organization
The legal structure and the operating structure, both on record
Regulators care about the legal entity. Work happens in departments and functions. Sentinel Unity models both, so every framework, budget, appetite and role can be scoped to the right one.
- Legal entities with jurisdiction, industry, risk tier and status
- Locations attached to entities; departments and functions inside them
- Frameworks activated per entity, so a group and its subsidiaries can differ
- Group roll-ups computed as the sum of entity views

Hierarchy
One tree that every module scopes to
Every record in the platform belongs to an entity. Objectives, risks, assessments, budgets and vendors inherit that scope, which is what makes a twelve-entity group readable at group level and honest at entity level.
- Entity types, department types, function categories and location types as configuration
- Risk tier per entity feeds appetite defaults and review cadence
- Bulk import of entities, locations, departments and functions from a workbook
- Timezone and contact details per entity for scheduling and notification

People and responsibility
Records are owned by named people
Ownership is a person, not a login. Responsibility assignments record who is responsible, accountable, consulted and informed for a record, and object-level scoping limits what a role can see to the entities it works in.
- People directory linked to users, departments and reporting lines
- RACI assignments on objectives, risks, controls, policies and findings
- Object-level scope administration per role and entity
- Ownership survives staff changes: reassignment is a recorded transition

Framework alignment
Works with your control frameworks
This module shares the platform control library. International standards, sector regulations and your own internal standard are loaded the same way and mapped to one another, wherever you operate.
