Agent Security Flagship offering

## Your agents need access to do their jobs. You need control over how they use it.

We engineer and test the controls around your agents: identity, permissions, human approvals and secure execution.

How agents stay in bounds

### Every tool call needs a ticket.

A ticket issuer grants most tickets instantly. Risky calls also need a person to approve.

- Ticket issued instantly
- Ticket after a person approves
- No ticket, no call

Swipe sideways to follow a call.

Four control areas

### Control across the agent’s working environment.

1. #### Identity & permissions

   Establish who the agent acts for, what it can access and how that access is revoked.

2. #### Human approvals

   Bind approval to the exact action. Handle rejection, expiry and changes before execution.

3. #### Tool access

   Expose permitted business actions with authorization checks at the point of use.

4. #### Secure execution

   Set and test boundaries around files, networks, processes and credential exposure.

What Sidekick delivers

### Defined boundaries. Working controls. Test evidence.

Start with one agent workflow and the systems it touches. We map its authority, implement the agreed controls and test permitted, denied, revoked and approval-dependent actions.

We also test agreed misuse scenarios, including attempts to redirect the agent or abuse its tools. You receive the implementation, findings and operating guidance.
