• SENTINEL’s integrated Identity Management System, based on the decentralised MyData model for human-centric personal data management for SMEs/MEs, enabling a unified European Personal Data Space;
• A curated collection of self-serving, state-of-the-art security- and privacy-enhancing modules, both open-source and contributed by consortium partners;
• monitoring of GDPR and other legal data protection regulations, to steer the project for continuous compliance across every task.

Objectives:

• Continuous access and monitoring of open security data sharing platforms that will facilitate (a) the deployment of the SENTINEL knowledge base; and (b) the establishment of a dependable two-way communication channel cross open security platforms and data aggregators for gathering security (e.g. threats) data and the escalation of data and privacy breaches and incidents;
• The SENTINEL DataFusion mechanisms for data breach incident handling and sharing;
• The SENTINEL Intelligent Recommendation Engine and;
• SENTINEL Policy Drafting and Enforcement modules.

The objective of this WP is to design, integrate and deliver all SENTINEL end-user facing services, which comprise:

• the SENTINEL cyber range testbeds for simulations and training;
• the SENTINEL data protection impact assessment (DPIA) framework;
• thorough, tailor-made and intelligent requirements analyses, followed by the design and deployment of the necessary training sessions and a smart self-scoring mechanism (risk assessment for small enterprises – RASE); and
• the delivery of the SENTINEL Observatory and knowledge base.

Objectives:

• Ensuring the seamless integration of SENTINEL components into a unified toolkit, usable by SMEs/MEs;
• Continuously optimising the SENTINEL platform through an iterative process (testing-improvement-testing);
• Supporting the project’s sustainability and commercial exploitation.

Objectives:

• Ensure the finalisation of the experimentation protocol based on end-users’ requirements;
• Realise real-life demonstrators based on both consortium members and on external entities engaged via DIHs;
• Provide detailed validation and evaluation of the SENTINEL platform, from a usability and end-user point of view, based on KPIs defined in Section 2.1 of Part B and updated in Task 1.1

Objectives:

• Develop the project’s visual identity, including conventional information material, tools (project website, social media) and audio-visual material (e.g., videos);
• To raise awareness about the project concept, developments and findings to all key actors (the cybersecurity and data protection industry, SMEs/MEs, academics, policy makers, general public) by participating and organising outreach activities, international events and INFO days;
• To develop the dissemination and communication strategy of the project, including social presence, participation in EU events, collaboration with other related projects, and implement it;
• To develop the SENTINEL business model and strategies for incentivising/promoting project adoption by various stakeholders within the SMEs/MEs ecosystem during and after project;
• Create a marketing strategy that focuses on commercialisation including the products costs (TCO), benefits (TBO), and return on invest.

Objectives:

• Establish a strong project management scheme;
• Establish the appropriate communication and reporting channels to the European Commission;
• Achieve a common scientific and technical direction within the project;
• Ensure successful achievement of the project objectives on time and within budget;
• Establish an efficient electronic service for communications, and document exchanging;
• Realise synergies amongst the project members and effective exploitation of the project’s’ results;
• Conduct continuous quality assurance activities for the operation of the project and the production of its scientific and technical results within its lifespan;
• Ensure continuous monitoring of the project’s progress and timely initiation of corrective actions (if needed);
• Coordinate the organisation and execution of the various project meetings, and/or participation of the project in various external or self-organised events;
• Perform risk analysis.

The objective is to ensure compliance with the 'ethics requirements' set out in this work package.
