ABOUT
Critical security insights, without disruption
Sentry Assurance’s mission is to provide critical security insights, without disruption. As former “Big 4” auditors we understand that not all audit reports are created equal and audit quality is paramount to the value of the report. That is why we’ve built our audit process from the ground up, allowing for minimal disruption, while maintaining audit quality, so you can have the best of both worlds.
At Sentry, we focus on four core differentiators that we feel bring value to our clients:
Quality Driven Professionals
Firm leaders have decades of combined experience at PwC, Deloitte, and EY within the IT Audit space.
Firm methodology was developed ground-up with this experience and a focus on delivering efficient, effective, and quality assessments to our clients.
Tailored & Agile Approach
We’re committed to minimizing the impact of an audit. We tailor our approach to the environment and acceleration tools. On average reducing client effort during fieldwork 70% compared to traditional auditors.
Our audit reports are flexible. Where you’ve developed differentiating controls, we work to help highlight that within your audit report.
Engaged Leadership
Our Founder is a current board member of the Ohio Society of CPAs ensuring that Sentry Assurance remains on the cutting edge of audit quality standards.
Holistic Assessment Support
Our team of experts can support you in all of your cybersecurity assessment needs. If you have an audit or compliance need, we have a solution.
