This guide helps evaluators safely install, observe, and verify selective structural protection behavior.
Expected insight: sensitive fields become inaccessible outside authorized interaction while the database itself remains fully queryable and structurally intact.
The evaluation environment includes preconfigured tables and field selections designed to demonstrate realistic selective protection scenarios. Evaluators can safely observe protection behavior without modifying production systems.
When protection is active, SQL queries will continue to return records normally. However, protected fields will return structurally valid but unusable values, demonstrating containment without disruption to application logic.
Protection behavior can be directly observed through controlled query comparison. Evaluators do not need to simulate compromise events to verify containment effectiveness.
Following evaluation, teams typically refine protected field selection, adjust deployment boundaries, and prepare staged integration. The evaluation process is designed to produce confidence through observation rather than assumption.
