04

05

Material goes public

Published to the audience with a complete record retained: input, findings, principal approval, exported PDF — all exam-ready.

Public

What stays the same

Your principal is still the approver. Your WSP is still authoritative. Your firm's risk tolerance is still the standard.

What changes

The first review cycle does the rule-lookup work for you. Compliance starts from a cleaner draft. Time-to-publish drops from 10–14 days to 2–3.

How it works

From first draft to compliance approval — the full workflow in one place.

Every review retained with full workflow history. PDF generated automatically. Export on demand or auto-sync to Google Drive / OneDrive.

What compliance teams are saying

Real feedback from CCOs, principals, and marketing leads running SentryReg in beta.

Cut our review cycles roughly in half. Marketing now ships drafts that aren't full of obvious problems, and my redlines focus on judgment calls instead of rule lookups.

Placeholder Name

Chief Compliance Officer · [Beta CTA Firm]

We were piling up the same five errors on every email and tearsheet. Pre-screening catches them in 90 seconds — my team can actually do strategy work now.

Placeholder Name

VP, Compliance · [Beta Broker-Dealer]

The WSP calibration is the part I didn't expect to love. It learns our firm's bar, not just the regulatory minimum.

Placeholder Name

Director of Marketing · [Beta IB]

Audit-ready records out of the box. Every review, every comment, every approval — all timestamped and exportable.

Placeholder Name

Principal · [Beta RIA]

I used to dread tearsheet reviews because the same junior would submit the same compliance-naive copy week after week. Now they self-correct before sending.

Placeholder Name

Compliance Manager · [Beta Energy Trading Firm]

Worth it just for citing the actual rule sections in plain language. Marketing finally understands the 'why' behind the redlines.

Why trust this

Built by someone who has done your job

I'm Skip Shean, founder of SentryReg. I've spent years doing marketing for regulated firms — futures and commodities on the NFA/CFTC side, equities and options on the FINRA/SEC side. Which means I've spent years getting material redlined by compliance on both.

I built this tool because the problem is real: compliance is bottlenecked, marketing is frustrated, and the materials that eventually get approved look basically the same as the ones that got sent back three times.

This tool catches the obvious stuff before it wastes your compliance officer's time. That's it. Your principal still reviews everything — the tool just makes their job easier and your drafts better.
