Heck, you don't need a control panel.  Just a switch of some kind, a power
supply, and a relay if you plan to operate a sounder.

As to shock sensors.  Some are standalone like window bugs and others have a
processor board of their own.  None really need a "control panel" to
operate.

I did some vending systems with internal key switches a while back that just
triggered a cellular communicator directly.  There was more than just a
shock sensor or two though.

Now that cellular is unlimited I wouldn't even put a switch on them to turn
them off.
