Type	On / off
Default	On
Edition	Community
Confirmation	SecurityInsight asks you to confirm before it is switched off.

What it does

One switch for every safety check that holds, refuses or stops a step to protect your data (the list below and the Guards page).

When enabled

every check works as set below.

When disabled

WARNING -- Off turns EVERY safety check off at once: SecurityInsight then closes vulnerability records, retires CIs, hands over batches and loads collections even when the data looks broken or incomplete, so a failed collection can close or retire everything it no longer sees. Nothing is held for release and no guard mail is sent; each check says once in its job log that it is off. The checks that only report a stop SecurityInsight cannot skip (the source failed, the licence) stop reporting it. On: every check works as set below.

Risk and how to reverse it

Turning this off removes EVERY safety check at once: no step is held or stopped to protect your data, whatever happens. Reversible at once: switch it back on; it applies from the next run.

Requires

Nothing else.
