What is SENTINEL GIP?

SENTINEL GIP is a professional OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) and GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence) platform that unifies real-time maritime tracking (AIS), aerial flight tracking (ADS-B), OFAC sanctions screening, satellite imagery acquisition (Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1) and entity pivot graph investigations in a single web console. It is used by investigative journalists, OSINT analysts, compliance teams and government agencies worldwide.

Who is SENTINEL GIP for?

Investigative journalists tracking shadow-fleet vessels and sanction evaders, OSINT analysts running due diligence and entity investigations, compliance teams screening counter-parties against OFAC SDN and EU/UK/UN sanctions lists, and risk-assessment professionals monitoring geopolitical and maritime threats.

How is SENTINEL GIP different from Maltego, Shodan or Bellingcat tools?

SENTINEL GIP combines real-time AIS, ADS-B, satellite imagery, sanctions screening and AI-assisted analysis in one integrated console — eliminating the need to switch between Maltego, Shodan, MarineTraffic, ADS-B Exchange and OFAC search portals. Unlike Maltego's per-transform fees, SENTINEL GIP charges a flat monthly price starting at $29.99.

Does SENTINEL GIP detect dark-fleet and sanction-evading vessels?

Yes. SENTINEL GIP automatically flags vessels with AIS gaps, suspicious STS (ship-to-ship) transfers outside designated anchorages, draft mismatches and ownership obfuscation. It cross-references AIS data with OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, UK OFSI, UN, Swiss SECO, Canadian SEMA and Australian DFAT sanctions lists, refreshed daily.

What satellite imagery sources does SENTINEL GIP use?

SENTINEL GIP offers on-demand acquisition of Sentinel-2 (10 m optical, cloud-aware) and Sentinel-1 (C-band SAR, all-weather, day/night) imagery from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, with side-by-side compare for change detection on ports, airfields and infrastructure.

How much does Sentinel GIP cost compared to Maltego?

Sentinel GIP starts at $29.99/month (Starter) with a free tier available. Maltego pricing is listed in the comparison table above.

OSINT platform comparison

Sentinel GIP vs Maltego — Which OSINT Platform Is Best in 2026?

Maltego pioneered link-analysis for OSINT investigations. Sentinel GIP delivers the same entity-pivot capabilities with native real-time maritime, aerial and sanctions intelligence — without per-transform credits and at a fraction of the price.

Bottom line

Choose Sentinel GIP for real-time geospatial intelligence, live AIS/ADS-B feeds, OFAC screening and satellite acquisitions inside a single console. Choose Maltego if you only need static graph link-analysis and already own a Maltego license.
