Shadow mode

    Test the gate before you enforce

    Shadow mode lets you deploy Sector8 alongside existing agents without blocking any actions. Sector8 evaluates each proposed action, records ALLOW, DENY, or REVIEW outcomes, and shows what would have happened if enforcement were active.

    How shadow-sm mode works

    1. 1Connect your agent or workflow
    2. 2Route proposed actions to Sector8
    3. 3Keep enforcement off
    4. 4Collect two weeks of decision evidence
    5. 5Review the policy gap report
    6. 6Turn on enforcement for selected rules

    What you get

    • List of actions Sector8 would have denied
    • Reason codes for each denial
    • Evidence hashes and trace IDs
    • Policy version references
    • Agent and tool breakdown
    • Suggested enforcement priorities

    Every denial names a reason code. See the reason-code reference.
