What runs, what waits, what is yours

Deixic classifies every Slack action before it runs.

Runs within policy

  • Post a status message when a control fails or passes

Waits for a named approver

  • Every sensitive change, until a named approver decides in the thread

Sent to you as a decision

  • Decisions only your company can make are posted as a question with the options.
  • Deixic does not fix anything in Slack. The fix lands in the system that owns the setting.

Read back and evidence

Each change is read back from Slack, attached to the test in your compliance platform (or kept in Deixic if you have none), and the test runs again.

Deixic reads back

  • The approver's identity and answer from the thread
  • The change as it reads in the target system after approval

Your auditor gets

  • The approval thread with approver, reason, and time
  • The receipt linked to the thread
