What is Sentrik?

Sentrik is a CLI + dashboard that enforces coding standards, compliance rules, and security policies on every commit. Built for teams using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) where code is generated faster than humans can review it.

The problem: AI agents write code that works but may violate security policies, compliance requirements, or architectural standards. Nobody catches it until audit time.

The solution: Sentrik scans every change against regulatory standards (OWASP, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FDA IEC 62304, and more), gates PRs that fail, and generates audit-ready evidence.

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions (Marketplace)

# .github/workflows/sentrik.yml
name: Sentrik Gate
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  gate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: maxgerhardson/sentrik-community@v1

That's it — one line. The action auto-detects PR context, runs the gate, uploads SARIF to GitHub Code Scanning, and attaches the findings report as an artifact.

With options:

      - uses: maxgerhardson/sentrik-community@v1
        with:
          packs: "owasp-top-10,soc2,supply-chain-security"
          fail-on: "critical,high"
          license-key: ${{ secrets.SENTRIK_LICENSE_KEY }}

Using outputs:

      - uses: maxgerhardson/sentrik-community@v1
        id: sentrik
      - run: echo "Found ${{ steps.sentrik.outputs.findings-count }} findings"
        if: always()

GitLab CI

sentrik:
  image: maxgerhardson/sentrik:latest
  script:
    - sentrik gate --git-range "origin/main...HEAD"
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"

Azure Pipelines

- script: |
    pip install sentrik
    sentrik gate --git-range "origin/main...HEAD"
  displayName: Sentrik Gate

AI Agent Integration

Sentrik works as an MCP server for AI coding agents:

# Start MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code
sentrik mcp-server

The MCP server gives AI agents real-time access to compliance rules, scan results, and remediation guidance — so they write compliant code from the start.
