Clarity. Responsibility. Intelligence.

SentiQ
From risk you can't see to evidence you can show

Most companies have security tools. Few can show they work. When an auditor, a customer or your board asks for proof, a folder of policies is not an answer.

SentiQ helps you build proven security: measures that run day to day and leave evidence you can show.

Senior, independent advisory combined with hands-on delivery across AI, cybersecurity and cloud.

No fluff. No vendor lock-in.

We work primarily with small and mid-sized companies across Europe that need to get AI, security and cloud right. Especially now, with the first NIS2 audits landing in 2027 and AI Act deadlines approaching.

About the Founder

The vision behind SentiQ

Jan Paulech, Founder of SentiQ

Jan Paulech

Founder & Principal Consultant
LinkedIn

Jan brings over 25 years of industry experience. He spent 17 years at Microsoft in leadership roles across Central and Eastern Europe, most recently leading security sales and technical specialists across 20+ countries. His earlier career includes roles at Hewlett-Packard, Compaq and Digital Equipment Corporation.

Today he combines his Microsoft experience and cloud and governance expertise with CISSP, CCSP and Lead Auditor certifications for ISO 27001 and ISO 42001. His focus is on AI security, NIS2 readiness and helping organizations translate regulatory requirements into practical controls.

He founded SentiQ because he saw the same pattern everywhere: business leaders under pressure from regulations and governance on one side, and rapidly evolving technology on the other. No single team can stay on top of both. SentiQ was built to bridge that gap, turning business and compliance goals into practical technology decisions, specific products, configurations and controls. So that leaders, managers and owners can move forward confidently and sleep well.

The name SentiQ reflects what we believe in. Sense – the human judgment, experience and understanding that no technology can replace. And intelligence – the ability to turn that understanding into smart decisions. Making sense of complexity is what we do. SentiQ is where the two meet.

SentiQ is deliberately small. You get direct access, hands-on guidance and pragmatic outcomes.
