Sentinel Research Institute is an independent research body producing peer-quality whitepapers, applied research, and strategic intelligence across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and open-source intelligence.
Sentinel Research Institute operates as a curated network of academic researchers, industry practitioners, and domain specialists. We assemble the right team for each engagement, drawing from faculty positions, security research labs, and operational intelligence backgrounds across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
Our researchers hold doctoral degrees and active publication records. Every deliverable follows established scientific methodology with transparent sourcing, reproducible analysis, and rigorous peer review. No hallucinated references. No recycled templates.
Our network includes practitioners who have built intelligence platforms for national security, managed cybersecurity operations at scale, and deployed AI systems processing thousands of real-time data streams. Theory informed by practice.
Each project is staffed with the precise expertise it demands. A firmware security assessment draws different specialists than an AI governance framework. You pay for focused expertise, not a bench of generalists.
From focused whitepapers to comprehensive research programmes, every deliverable meets peer-review standards for methodology, sourcing, and analytical rigour.
10 to 25 pages of structured analysis on a defined topic. Literature review, methodology, findings, and actionable recommendations. Ideal for thought leadership, policy input, or strategic positioning.
50+ pages with original data collection, comprehensive literature review, and detailed analysis. Suitable for regulatory submissions, procurement decisions, or foundational strategy documents.
Systematic mapping of threat actors, attack vectors, technology maturity, or market dynamics within a defined scope. Structured for recurring updates on quarterly or annual cycles.
Concise briefs that translate complex technical realities into clear recommendations for leadership, boards, and policymakers. Evidence-based, jargon-free, and actionable.
Our network covers the full spectrum of applied security and intelligence research, with deep specialization in emerging threat landscapes.
Applied AI systems, LLM evaluation, AI governance frameworks, and responsible deployment methodologies.
Penetration testing methodologies, firmware analysis, binary reverse engineering, and threat landscape assessments.
AI-enhanced OSINT methodologies, real-time intelligence platforms, and multi-source data fusion for situational awareness.
Evidence acquisition, forensic analysis workflows, incident reconstruction, and expert reporting for legal proceedings.
Technology policy analysis, regulatory impact assessments, and strategic advisory for public sector decision-makers.
Security assessments for CNI, disaster management systems, and resilience frameworks for essential services.
We treat every commission as a research project, not a consulting engagement. The difference is methodology, transparency, and accountability to evidence.
We define the research question, methodology, and deliverable format together with the client. Clear scope prevents scope creep and ensures relevance.
We select researchers from our network whose expertise precisely matches the project requirements. Each team includes at least one senior researcher with domain-specific publication history.
Primary research, literature review, data collection, and analysis follow established scientific methodology. All sources are verified. All claims are evidenced.
Internal peer review by a second researcher ensures quality and methodological soundness before final delivery. Revisions are included as standard.
Due to the nature of our work, specific client engagements are disclosed only with permission.
We accept commissions for whitepapers, research reports, technical assessments, and strategic intelligence briefs. Reach out to discuss scope, timeline, and team composition.
