Sovereign cloud SaaS hosted by OutScale, a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes and SecNumCloud-certified, or on-premises installation in your environments.
CONTROL PLANS
Easily organize your annual campaigns.
The internal control manager faces multiple challenges: providing visibility to governance bodies while structuring the system. Sentinelys allows you to build your plans on an annual basis, organized into cycles that include operational campaigns.
Each plan must be approved by a supervisor before a campaign can be generated; nothing begins without managerial approval.
-
Hierarchical structure: A plan consists of cycles, which contain operational campaigns.
-
Real-time tracking: statuses, dates, and progress for each associated cycle and campaign.
-
Mandatory approval: The supervisor must approve the plan before any campaign is launched.
INSPECTION CAMPAIGNS
Your system easily integrates frontline staff from every line of defense.
Each campaign easily engages users based on their role within the company’s defense line. With Sentinelys, create your annual plans and manage all your cycles with ease.
A dedicated dashboard for each campaign allows you to track progress, view approval milestones, and access general reference documents (procedures, regulatory texts).
-
Campaign category: quickly select the appropriate control standards and the users involved.
-
Dashboard: progress tracking, validation milestones, related general documents.
IMPLEMENTATION & CHECKLIST
Gather all the information you need to test your controls.
The inspection report contains everything the inspector needs: entered information, related events, and risk assessment data automatically populated. No manual searching, no re-entering.
The fields in the conclusion section are fully customizable to meet your business needs. Traceability is ensured at three levels: inspection, campaign, and cross-functional overview.
-
Centralized data: entered information, events, and risks reported automatically.
-
Customizable conclusion: fields that can be configured to meet your business needs.
-
3-level traceability: control, campaign, and cross-functional overview.
MANAGEMENT SUPERVISION & APPROVAL
First and second levels: finally aligned!
One of the recurring issues with internal controls is the lack of a formal link between levels. In Sentinelys, a parent campaign can be created from the dashboard of an existing campaign to ensure this oversight.
Higher-level controls linked to lower-level controls in the repository are automatically carried over, without the need for re-entry. When a Level 1 campaign is completed, it is submitted for validation as part of its Level 2 parent campaign.
-
Parent campaign: created from the dashboard of an existing campaign to oversee multiple levels.
-
Automatic carryover: Higher-level controls linked in the reference system, without re-entry.
-
Hierarchical validation: A completed campaign is submitted to its parent campaign for consolidation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
From recommendations to an action plan: no information is lost!
A check that identifies a problem is useless if it does not lead to corrective action that is followed through over time. Recommendations are created directly from the check page and allow for tracking of the resolution process prior to implementation through action plans in the cross-functional module shared across the entire platform.
-
Recommendations: These are systematically generated from a control page to document the findings.
-
Monitoring of the process: prior to conversion into operational action plans.
-
Cross-functional module: the same action plans as those resulting from the audit, risk assessments, and incident reports.

INTEROPERABILITY · 360° VIEW
Internal control on its own is good. When integrated with other lines of defense, it’s crucial.
Sentinelys breaks down silos between your governance functions. The Internal Control module integrates directly with Risk, Internal Audit, and Incident Management, providing a 360-degree view of your organization.
+ Risk Management
Risk assessment data is automatically populated in the control sheets. The controller has access to the gross and net criticality scores and control measures without having to consult the risk manager.
No more silos: the risk manager doesn’t have to re-enter anything; the controller can find the context directly on the control sheet.
+ Internal Audit
Governance stakeholders are finally aligned. Internal Control oversees Levels 1 and 2, Internal Audit operates at Level 3, and both functions share the same action plans.
Unified vision: for the first time, the three lines of defense are working within the same environment, using the same data.
+ Events & Incidents
Incidents reported within a specific area are immediately visible in the control sheet for that area. The controller arrives with all the necessary context; no additional briefing is required.
Immediate context: no need to consult a separate system—the information is already there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a specific question? Our experts are here to help. Request a demo to see how our tools can make your day-to-day work easier.
What is internal control software, and what is it used for?
Internal control software (continuous monitoring) enables the structuring, planning, and execution of control campaigns at various levels of the organization, from first-level verification to oversight. It centralizes results, ensures the traceability of findings, and formalizes recommendations for improvement. Sentinelys goes a step further by connecting this data to the Risk, Internal Audit, and Incident modules, providing a 360° view of the control framework.
How does cross-level monitoring work in Sentinelys?
Monitoring is based on the concept of parent campaigns. From the dashboard of a lower-level campaign, you can create a higher-level parent campaign that consolidates and verifies the results. The higher-level controls linked in the repository are automatically carried over, without the need for re-entry.
Do I need to enable all modules to use internal control?
No. The Internal Control module operates independently on the Sentinelys platform (scope, library, action plans). You can activate it on its own and add the Risk or Internal Audit modules based on your priorities. Each connected module enhances the system by eliminating additional silos.
What happens to the findings and recommendations after a campaign?
Findings and recommendations are archived in Sentinelys along with all associated action plans. Easily locate action plans related to risks and audits in a single location that centralizes all ongoing initiatives within the company, regardless of their origin.
