Core Sentinel was founded by industry-renowned security veteran Steve McLaughlin, who has worked with high-profile and multinational organisations worldwide. Engage us and you get that calibre of expertise directly — not a junior consultant on their first week.
“Our reports leave no stone unturned — but they stay easy to understand, with a prioritised list of fixes you can act on immediately.”
Their penetration testing is incredibly detailed, delivered quickly, and at a price that fits our budget. The hardening guidance is straightforward and practical — total peace of mind for us and our clients.— Michael R., Managed Service Provider
