Free threat intelligence for journalists, NGO workers & human rights defenders
The Sentinel Shields Foundation develops open-source intelligence tools that give journalists, humanitarian workers, and civilians the same threat awareness as professional security teams — at no cost. Powered by 63+ intelligence source adapters and updated every 15 minutes.
Professional security teams have access to expensive threat intelligence platforms. The people who need it most — journalists, aid workers, activists — don't. We're changing that.
Correspondents and freelancers operating in conflict zones, autocratic states, and high-surveillance environments face unique threats that generic travel apps ignore.
Humanitarian and development workers need real-time situational awareness across dozens of high-risk countries simultaneously.
Activists, lawyers, and investigators face targeted surveillance, detention risk, and physical danger. CI threat awareness can be the difference between safety and capture.
Business travelers, expatriates, and adventurous individuals deserve access to the same intelligence that corporations pay thousands for.
The Sentinel Shields Foundation believes that open-source intelligence, when made accessible and free, can protect lives. Our mission is to democratize threat awareness for those who cannot afford corporate security solutions.
Support the FoundationAtlas Sentinel will never charge individual users. Like Signal, we are funded entirely by donations and grants — not subscriptions, not advertising, not data.
Our code is public. Our data sources are documented. Our methodology is transparent. Security tools that can't be audited shouldn't be trusted.
We do not collect, sell, or share user data. We don't know where you're going, and we don't want to. Your security queries stay on your device.
Every threat assessment is grounded in 33 active intelligence sources spanning US State Department, UK FCDO, CDC, USGS, NOAA, UN Security Council, GDELT real-time conflict data, and 20+ news networks, think tanks, and human rights organizations. FIE profiles cover all 196 countries.
