Frequently asked questions
Is SentriAI a Delve alternative?
They overlap on continuous compliance, but SentriAI’s distinct focus is AI governance - shadow AI, agent actions, and prompt-injection defense - while Delve specializes in fast AI-automated certification.
Does SentriAI automate SOC 2?
Yes. SentriAI supports continuous compliance and evidence for frameworks like SOC 2, and connects AI activity to those controls so AI risk is part of the picture.
Why govern AI if my compliance is automated?
Automated compliance proves your controls; it does not govern the AI agents and shadow AI now operating in your business. SentriAI targets that new risk surface and links it to evidence.
