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 Shodan?

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

OSINT platform comparison

Sentinel GIP vs Shodan — OSINT for Geospatial vs Internet Devices

Shodan is the de-facto search engine for internet-connected devices. Sentinel GIP focuses on geospatial OSINT — vessels, aircraft, satellites, sanctions — and integrates Shodan results inside its pivot engine for a 360° view.

Bottom line

They are complementary. Use Shodan as a data source for ICS/IoT discovery; use Sentinel GIP as the investigative console that correlates Shodan hits with maritime, aerial and sanctions intelligence.

Feature-by-feature comparison

Feature	Sentinel GIP	Shodan
Internet-of-Things device search	Via Shodan integration
Real-time AIS maritime tracking
Real-time ADS-B flight tracking
OFAC / sanctions screening
Satellite imagery acquisition
Pivot graph visualization
AI-powered investigative brief
Public ICS / SCADA monitoring	Via Shodan

Pricing	From $29.99/mo	$49+ /mo (Membership)

Why pick Sentinel GIP

Geospatial-first design — vessels, aircraft, satellites natively
Aggregates Shodan + Censys + AlienVault OTX + AbuseIPDB + GreyNoise in one place
Investigative workflow with AI brief generation

Honest trade-offs

Not a CVE / vulnerability scanner — use Shodan natively for that
Smaller IoT/ICS index than Shodan (we use it as a data source)
