AI governance for NT councils.

Sentinel for the NT's 17 municipal, regional and shire councils, aligned to the Information Act 2002 (NT) and NT public-sector standards.

The pressure

NT councils, sovereign and proportionate.

NT councils serve geographically vast, often remote populations — AI is increasingly used for service delivery, language translation, and resident communications. Existing Information Act 2002 (NT) obligations cover privacy and access; AI use must comply.

Frameworks pre-loaded

Every framework NT cares about — encoded as data, cross-mapped on day one.

The Sentinel Framework Engine ships with these frameworks as machine-readable data, with explicit cross-maps. When you assess a use case, the workpaper, the review pack, and the auditor evidence trail are generated from this library — not authored from scratch.
