The Certification Layer
Sits Between Everything

SentinelForgeAI Systems is built to complement — not compete with — the AI vendors, system integrators, and compliance providers your programs already rely on. We occupy the layer they all leave open.

Partnership Types

Three Ways To
Work With Us

// TYPE 01
System Integrators
& Prime Contractors
Defense primes and system integrators building AI-integrated programs need a behavioral certification layer that doesn't require source access to the AI stack and doesn't add integration complexity. SentinelForge deploys alongside your existing architecture.
  • No modification to existing AI systems or program architecture
  • Adds behavioral certification documentation to program deliverables
  • Addresses NDAA §5949 compliance requirements without vendor negotiation
  • Pilot program deployable within existing program timeline
// TYPE 02
AI Vendors
& Platform Providers
AI vendors seeking to serve defense programs need independent third-party behavioral certification that they cannot credibly provide themselves. SentinelForge provides that independent layer — strengthening your program position by demonstrating that your platform performs within specification under independent observation.
  • Third-party certification strengthens your program proposal
  • Independent behavioral record answers the "vendor attestation" objection
  • No source access required — protects your IP while providing compliance coverage
  • Differentiates your offering in competitive defense procurements
// TYPE 03
Compliance &
Consulting Firms
CMMC RPOs, cybersecurity consulting firms, and defense compliance advisors supporting clients with AI integration have a growing gap in their service offering — behavioral certification. SentinelForge fills that gap, allowing you to offer a complete AI compliance solution without building the certification infrastructure yourself.
  • Adds AI behavioral certification to your CMMC compliance practice
  • Reseller and referral arrangements available
  • White-glove pilot program support for your clients
  • Expands your addressable market as AI compliance mandates grow
Why Partner

Why SentinelForge
Complements — Doesn't Compete

01
We Don't Touch Your AI Stack
SentinelForge certifies from outside. No integration, no modification, no shared failure mode. Your AI system continues to operate exactly as designed. We observe and certify — we don't interfere.
02
We Don't Need Your Source Code
Behavioral certification doesn't require access to model weights, training data, or proprietary architecture. Your IP stays yours. SentinelForge certifies behavioral outputs — not internal mechanics.
03
We Fill the Gap Existing Tools Leave Open
SIEM tools, performance monitors, and cybersecurity platforms don't produce behavioral certification records. SentinelForge is the only layer that does — which means we add something none of your existing vendors can offer.
04
We Strengthen Every Program Proposal
A program that includes independent behavioral certification for its AI components is a better program proposal than one that doesn't. SentinelForge strengthens the competitive position of every partner who includes it.
