Built In-House by Core Guard Group

Sentinel Access Platform

Sentinel Access is Core Guard's proprietary integration and operational management platform, built in-house to connect your physical security hardware directly to real business workflows. It automates access decisions, logs every event to a live audit trail, and gives your team centralised control across every door and site, without replacing your existing infrastructure.

Where most access control vendors stop at the hardware, Sentinel Access takes over: bridging booking systems, biometric readers, video security and managed support into a single coherent platform, built, owned and supported entirely by Core Guard Group.
