Strategic security consulting for organisations operating across Africa. From vulnerability assessments to crisis management frameworks, our advisory practice helps clients build resilient security postures grounded in intelligence and operational expertise.
Get a QuoteSentinel Africa Group's consulting practice is staffed by former military intelligence officers, corporate security directors, and risk management specialists who bring decades of combined experience to every engagement. Our advisory team has led security operations across some of the most complex environments on the African continent, and this operational pedigree informs every recommendation we make. We do not offer theoretical frameworks; we deliver actionable strategies built on real-world experience and validated by our own field intelligence network.
We serve Fortune 500 companies, mining corporations, financial institutions, diplomatic missions, and family offices across the continent. Our clients trust us because we understand the unique challenges of operating in Africa, from navigating regulatory landscapes and managing corruption risk to addressing infrastructure limitations and political instability. Every consulting engagement is tailored to the client's specific operational context, industry vertical, and risk appetite, ensuring that our recommendations are both relevant and implementable.
What sets Sentinel apart from traditional consulting firms is the bridge between strategy and operations. Our recommendations are not abstract—they are backed by our ability to implement through our close protection, residential security, cyber protection, and secure transport operational divisions. When we design a security architecture, we can deploy the teams to build it. This end-to-end capability ensures accountability and eliminates the gap between advisory and execution that plagues the consulting industry.
Our deep African expertise means that every assessment accounts for local context. We integrate data from our proprietary ThreatWatch™ platform and OpsLink™ command system to ensure recommendations are grounded in current intelligence rather than outdated assumptions. We maintain compliance expertise across multiple frameworks including ISO 18788, PSIRA, ISPS Code, and King IV governance principles, enabling us to help clients meet both international standards and local regulatory requirements simultaneously.

Every engagement produces quantifiable risk reduction metrics and clear implementation roadmaps with defined milestones.
The ThreatWatch™ platform provides the data foundation for all of our risk assessments, ensuring that every recommendation is grounded in current intelligence rather than outdated assumptions. Our analysts aggregate threat data from OSINT feeds, law enforcement databases, and our own field intelligence network across 38 African countries to build a comprehensive risk picture for each client engagement.
This intelligence-driven approach means our assessments reflect real-time conditions on the ground. Country risk profiles, threat actor databases, incident trend analysis, and geopolitical forecasting all feed into our consulting methodology through the OpsLink™ command system. The result is security recommendations that are not only technically sound but operationally relevant and immediately actionable.
