Considerations
Your organization might be at real risk. The EU AI Act is very much alive. Many have to comply since February 2025 and the Act will be enforced starting August this year. Start your inventory now (book a call or simply contact us).
Multi-Layer Protection
We Don't Necessarily Replace What You Have. We Complete It.
What Your Current Monitoring Sees
The systems you have in place, probably including an AI gateway, may already cover the basics: input validation, output filtering, rate limiting, and token usage. For many organisations, that is a reasonable starting point.
But there is a critical gap. Nothing in that stack sees inside your AI systems. Internal reasoning, decision pathways, and model behaviour remain invisible.
What We Add
Our Sentinel software logs what happens in the black box, where real failures occur and where standard monitoring stops looking.
Decision pathway integrity. Bias detection in reasoning. Hallucination identification. Model stability tracking. Process-level audit trails.
With Multi-Trace Logging (MTL-frames) we capture the internal behaviour of your AI at the level regulators, auditors, insurers and last but not least your customers and clients will eventually ask about.
AI Literacy Services Are Part Of The Programme
Understanding what your AI does is one layer of protection. Understanding what to do with that knowledge is another. Lexent provides structured literacy services built around the people in your organisation. Not generic training, but targeted programmes calibrated to role and responsibility.
For boards and executives: strategic awareness of AI risk, regulatory exposure, and governance obligations.
For compliance and legal teams: operational literacy covering the EU AI Act, GDPR, and the frameworks that govern your sector.
For those working with AI day to day: practical understanding of how to recognise, escalate, and document AI behaviour that falls outside acceptable boundaries.
Literacy is not a checkbox. It is the layer that makes every other layer work.
And for organisations that need to start there, we offer it as a standalone service.
How Lexent Works
A structured path, built around you.
Scan → Diagnose → Build → Guard
We start with an internal scan. This is a structured first look at your data and AI landscape, your existing frameworks, and where the gaps are. A clean approach without assumptions and not just standard templates.
The scan informs an assessment: a clear picture of where you stand against the regulatory frameworks that apply to your organisation, and what needs to happen next. What applies to a financial institution differs from what applies to a healthcare provider or a legal firm. That difference shapes everything that follows.
From the assessment we build your programme. This can contain training, literacy, scanning, and monitoring in the combination and sequence your organisation actually needs. Not a package designed for someone else, and realistically step by step.
Then if we agree, we stay. Monitoring is never a report you receive once. It is an ongoing layer of protection that evolves as your AI systems, your data, and the regulatory landscape around them change. When regulations are updated (and they are updated more frequently than some compliance teams can track) we alert you to the changes that affect your systems specifically, not generic updates that leave interpretation to you.
Your gateway protects the perimeter. We protect the process. Your people know what they are doing. All three matter and all three are required.

Sentinel Lite
Monitoring scaled to where you are.
Not every organisation needs enterprise-grade assurance from day one. Sentinel Lite is a monitoring programme defined around your situation: your systems, your sector, your current level of readiness.
Role-based literacy and awareness training are part of it where needed.
The scope is yours to determine.
Sentinel Complete
Enterprise-grade assurance for regulated environments.
Full programme integration across monitoring, literacy, and governance. Custom sector framework alignment, advanced forensic analysis, multi-jurisdiction reporting, dedicated compliance support, and structured literacy programmes calibrated to role and responsibility.
Sentinel Complete deploys in your infrastructure with cloud, on-premise, or air-gapped environments. We never ask for your data. Your AI stays yours. Your compliance stays provable.
Built for organisations where AI risk is not a background concern.
So, Start With What You Can't See
The gaps in your AI and data monitoring rarely announce themselves. They surface in audits, in incidents, in the moment someone asks for proof you cannot produce. Add to that the fact that your clients, customers, citizens, and politicians also want to know how these matters are safeguarded.
Act before that moment arrives.
Our Compliance Scan gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
FAQ
Sentinel maps your AI and data activity against the frameworks that govern your specific situation.
For most organisations operating in or with the EU, that includes the EU AI Act, GDPR, DSA, NIS2, DORA and PLD guidelines. For organisations with US operations or vendors, the CLOUD Act is part of the picture. Sector-specific frameworks, for instance MiFID II for financial services, NEN 7510 for healthcare, are integrated where relevant.
You do not need to manage the mapping yourself. That is what we are here for. But you may complete this.
Sentinel produces structured logs and reports built for the people who need to act on them, not just dashboards for internal teams.
For your CISO or compliance officer, it provides real-time alerts and incident documentation. For your board, it translates technical monitoring into governance evidence. For external auditors and regulators, it produces audit-ready documentation with full traceability: who, what, when, why, and how it complied.
The output is calibrated to your audience, not a one-size report.
The US CLOUD Act allows US authorities to compel US-based companies and their subsidiaries to produce data stored anywhere in the world.
The critical nuance is that the Act follows who controls the data, not where it is physically stored. A European subsidiary of a US parent company may be in scope even if its data never leaves the EU. If your organisation has any US ownership, US vendors, or US-based cloud providers in your stack, this warrants assessment.
Therefore, the CLOUD Act focuses on all digital data more than just the cloud. CLOUD stands for Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data.
We include CLOUD Act exposure in our regulatory mapping where it is relevant.
Sentinel Lite does not have a fixed feature set or a standard price. It is defined after the Compliance Scan, based on what your organisation actually needs; on your systems, your sector, your current level of readiness. That means the scope and price vary.
What is consistent is the starting point: the Compliance Scan gives us the information we need to define Lite in a way that is proportionate and meaningful for your situation. The conversation starts there.
An AI gateway is a control layer that sits between your organisation and its AI systems, managing what goes in and what comes out. Common examples include API management platforms, content filtering layers, and prompt management tools.
Not every organisation has one, and not every tool marketed as a gateway provides the same level of control. In a hybrid AI environment, a gateway should be present, but that is often still not sufficient.
Whether you need one depends on your AI deployment. What is important to understand is that even a well-configured gateway only monitors inputs and outputs. It does not see inside your AI systems. That is the gap Sentinel addresses.
Lexent literacy programmes are delivered in formats calibrated to the audience: workshops, structured online modules, or guided sessions for specific teams, depending on what fits your organisation.
Content is role-based: what a board member needs to understand differs from what a compliance officer or a frontline AI user needs to know.
Assessment is built in. Not as a pass/fail test, but as a structured way to document that your organisation meets the literacy obligations the EU AI Act requires. That documentation is part of your governance record.
Provider status follows function, not branding. Under the EU AI Act, the party that places an AI system on the market or puts it into service bears provider obligations, regardless of who built it or whose name appears on the product.
When intermediaries are involved, each party in the chain holds a position the Act recognises: developer, importer, distributor, or deployer. Distributors and importers carry lighter obligations, but they become providers the moment they substantially modify a system or bring it to market under their own name.
For your organisation, the relevant question is whether you are deploying a system as delivered, or whether your integration, configuration, or rebranding constitutes a substantial modification. If it does, conformity assessment, technical documentation, and registration requirements apply to you, not just to the original developer.
This allocation cannot be assumed. It needs to be established contractually before deployment, and it needs to reflect operational reality. Regulators will look past the commercial structure to who actually controls the system and under whose authority it operates.
Lexent can help you assess your position in the chain and document it in a way that holds up to scrutiny.
Don't let legislation stand in the way of your ambitions.
