What We Cover
What We Protect You From
Weak Passwords & Credentials
We identify exposed credentials, reused passwords, and accounts lacking multi-factor authentication - a leading cause of breaches.
Exposed Services & Entry Points
We find exposed systems, open ports, unsafe settings, and other gaps attackers commonly target as their first way in.
Misconfigurations
We identify poor Wi-Fi setup, risky device configurations, and exposed services that could allow unauthorised access.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continuous visibility means suspicious activity gets detected, logged, and addressed faster - before damage is done.
Phishing & Social Engineering
We highlight common phishing risks and provide guidance on email hygiene, so your team can spot and avoid social engineering attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A Cyber MOT is a structured cybersecurity health check modelled on the familiar vehicle MOT concept. It reviews your systems, devices, accounts, and network setup to find security weaknesses early - before attackers do. You receive a plain-English report with prioritised fixes.
- The initial Cyber MOT check is free. Get in touch to arrange a short first conversation about your business setup and we'll take it from there.
- No. Everything is written in plain English. We explain what each risk means for your specific business, how serious it is, and what to do about it - without jargon or scare tactics.
- The initial check is an on-premise session, typically lasting 1 to 2 hours at your business. The exact time depends on the size and complexity of your setup. We work around your schedule to minimise disruption.
- Our checks cover many of the same areas as the UK government's Cyber Essentials framework - including access controls, patch management, firewalls, and malware protection. Sentinel Check can be a practical first step toward Cyber Essentials readiness.
