This page describes the recommended onboarding path for an Access Gate over the first three weeks: asset discovery and inventory on Day 1, enclave-based access control in Week 1, then logging, monitoring, and incident response in Week 2.
| Timing | Phase | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Discovery & Visibility | Passive network listening, active discovery, asset profiling, populate the asset inventory |
| Week 1 | Deploy Access Control with Enclaves | Create an enclave, add assets and principals, grant permissions, test access workflows, begin logging and alerting |
| Week 2 | Log, Monitor & Respond | Collect audit logs, connect log collection to your SIEM, run a risk audit and generate compliance reports |
What's a good goal for your first three weeks with an Access Gate
Phase 1: Discovery & Visibility (Day 1)
- Passive network listening
- Active discovery
- Asset profiling
- Populate the Asset inventory
Phase 2: Deploy Access Control with Enclaves (Week 1)
- Create an enclave
- Add assets and principals
- Grant permissions
- Test access workflows
- Begin logging and alerting
Phase 3: Log, Monitor & Respond (Week 2)
- Collect audit logs
- Connect your log collection to your SIEM
- Run a risk audit and generate compliance reports
At the end of three weeks, you should reach:
- ✓ Complete asset inventory (AC.CM-1, AC.CM-2)
- ✓ Identity-based access control (AC.L2-3.1.1, AC.L2-3.1.2)
- ✓ Network segmentation (SC.L2-3.13.1)
- ✓ Encrypted connections (SC.L2-3.13.11)
- ✓ Audit logging (AU.L2-3.3.1 through AU.L2-3.3.9)
- ✓ Incident response capability (IR.L2-3.6.1)
