Understanding Your Two Account Modes

SecureSlate offers a unique dual-mode experience that lets you choose how you want to explore the platform:

Demo Mode: Your Complete Product Tour

Toggle to Demo Mode when you want to see SecureSlate's full capabilities in action. This mode provides:

  • Pre-populated dummy data that showcases real-world security scenarios
  • Read-only access to explore every feature without affecting actual data
  • Complete vulnerability scans demonstrating how SecureSlate identifies and prioritizes security risks
  • Full feature access including unlimited tests, controls, policies, and risk assessments
  • Real-world use cases that help you understand exactly how SecureSlate can become your go-to security platform

Demo Mode is perfect for evaluating whether SecureSlate meets your organization's needs. You can navigate through comprehensive dashboards, review sample vulnerability reports, and experience the complete workflow from detection to remediation—all without any risk to your actual systems.

Personal Account Mode: Hands-On Testing

Switch to your Personal Account when you're ready to connect SecureSlate to your own environment. This mode allows you to:

  • Run actual scans on your infrastructure
  • See real vulnerabilities specific to your systems
  • Test the platform with your own data and workflows
  • Evaluate integration with your existing security tools

Please note: Trial accounts in Personal Mode have limited access to resources such as the number of tests, controls, policies, and risk assessments you can create. This helps you get a meaningful hands-on experience while keeping trial resources manageable.

How to Switch Between Demo Mode and Personal Account Mode

You can switch between Demo Mode and Personal Account Mode at any time using the mode toggle in the dashboard sidebar.

  1. Step 1: Locate the mode toggle in the left sidebar
  2. Step 2: Click the toggle to switch modes
  3. Step 3: Confirm the mode change if prompted

Your settings and preferences are preserved when you switch modes.
