Review is not the same as approval
Sentrel distinguishes technical review, operational review and formal approval so the audit record reflects the purpose of each decision.
Required reading and acknowledgement
Workforce acknowledgement can be managed separately from management approval, helping teams track required reading without confusing the two governance activities.
Careful wording matters. Sentrel describes this as electronic approval or attestation unless a deployment implements formal qualified digital-signature technology.
