Compliance Requirements for Warehouse Automation

The Compliance Landscape

Deploying autonomous robots in warehouses triggers multiple compliance frameworks. Your customers, insurers, and regulators will ask: "How do you know your robots are secure?"

Key Frameworks

SOC 2 Type II

SOC 2 requires demonstrating security controls over time. For robotics, this means:

• Access Control — Who can command robots? How is access managed?
• Change Management — How are firmware updates deployed and verified?
• Monitoring — How do you detect compromised robots?
• Incident Response — What happens when a robot is breached?

Sentinel provides: immutable audit logs, firmware verification records, trust score history, and command authorization trails.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 requires an Information Security Management System (ISMS). For robotics:

• Asset Management — Every robot registered with cryptographic identity
• Cryptography — Ed25519 signatures, SHA-256 hashing, TLS 1.3
• Operations Security — Continuous monitoring, anomaly detection
• Supplier Relationships — Verified firmware from trusted sources

IEC 62443

Specific to industrial automation and control systems:

• Security Levels — SL1 through SL4 based on threat environment
• Zone Segmentation — Fleet micro-segmentation with mutual auth
• Component Security — Hardware attestation, secure boot
• System Integrity — Runtime verification, tamper detection

How Sentinel Helps

Sentinel's Enterprise plan includes:

• Automated compliance reports — SOC 2, ISO 27001, IEC 62443
• Audit log exports — Cryptographically signed, timestamped
• Evidence collection — Firmware proofs, trust score history
• Gap analysis — Identify missing controls before audits
