Tackling Incident Response

Trout Access Gate Features

Incident response slows down when traceability is manual

Incident response slows down when traceability is manual

When an incident occurs, IT teams are already under pressure to contain impact and restore operations.

At the same time, NIS2 requires them to document what happened, which systems were affected, and what actions were taken.

NIS2 makes cybersecurity a board-level responsibility, with direct accountability for leadership.

Trout provides a simple, on-premise way to deliver this visibility, control, and evidence without agents or disruption.

Reconstruct incident timelines across systems and zones
Identify affected assets based on real activity
Trace access paths and user actions
Demonstrate containment and remediation steps
Support accurate incident reporting

Trout Access Gate capabilities

Trout Access Gate Features

Built-in traceability at the access and network layer

Built-in traceability at the access and network layer

Trout Access Gate provides incident traceability by recording security-relevant activity directly at the point where access and communications are enforced.

Instead of correlating data from many systems after an incident, IT teams can rely on a single, consistent source of truth for access, communication, and response actions.

Unified access and activity history

Records who accessed which systems, from where, and when, across internal and remote connections.

Asset- and zone-level context

Links events to specific assets, roles, and network zones, supporting accurate scoping.

Communication flow traceability

Preserves visibility into which systems communicated during a given time window and over which protocols.

Change and response audit trail

Logs policy changes, permission updates, and containment actions taken during an incident.

Integrated evidence capture

Allows teams to place assets under surveillance or trigger targeted packet capture (PCAP) to preserve forensic evidence.

Operational Impact

Connecting Trout Access Gate
Connecting Trout Access Gate

During an incident, IT teams need to act first: contain the issue, limit exposure, and keep operations running.

Trout provides visibility, traceability, and response actions in a single control point. Teams can investigate, contain, and preserve evidence without leaving the interface.

For IT teams, this means:

  • Faster containment without tool switching

  • Clear, automatically recorded timelines

  • Less manual documentation during incidents

  • More time spent resolving issues, not reporting on them

How Trout Access Gate Secures On-Premise Systems & Supports NIS2

How Trout Access Gate Secures On-Premise Systems & Supports NIS2

What does NIS2 expect in terms of incident traceability?

NIS2 expects organizations to understand what happened during an incident, which systems were affected, how access and communication occurred, and what actions were taken in response. This information must be available quickly and be defensible during regulatory reporting.

Why is incident traceability difficult in on-premise environments?

Relevant data is spread across many systems: VPNs, firewalls, servers, OT tools, and logs stored in different formats. Reconstructing a timeline often requires manual correlation while teams are already under pressure to contain the incident.

How does Trout Access Gate improve response speed during an incident?

Trout centralizes access, communication history, and response actions in one place. IT teams can immediately see affected assets and access paths, restrict permissions, and modify security enclaves to quarantine systems without switching tools.

Do teams still need to manually document incidents?

Significantly less. Access events, communication flows, policy changes, and containment actions are recorded automatically. This creates a usable incident timeline without requiring teams to write documentation while the incident is ongoing.

Can Trout help prove what actions were taken during an incident?

Yes. All response actions—such as permission changes, enclave modifications, or surveillance activation—are logged with timestamps, providing clear evidence of containment and remediation steps.

How does this support NIS2 incident reporting timelines?

Because traceability data is continuously captured, teams can quickly assess scope and impact and produce accurate reports without reconstructing events after the fact, even under tight NIS2 reporting deadlines.

Does this work for both IT and OT incidents?

Yes. Traceability covers internal and remote access, IT systems, OT equipment, and cross-zone communications, without agents or changes to legacy systems.

Summary of Trout Access Gate and NIS2 Coverage

NIS2 requires organizations to accurately determine what happened, which systems were affected, and what actions were taken—often under tight reporting timelines.

In traditional environments, incident traceability depends on manually correlating logs, access records, and network data from multiple tools. This slows response, delays containment, and forces teams to spend valuable time reconstructing timelines and writing documentation while incidents are still ongoing.

Trout Access Gate provides built-in incident traceability at the access and network control layer. It continuously records access events, communication flows, asset context, and response actions in a single, consistent system. During an incident, teams can immediately identify affected assets and access paths, restrict permissions, modify security enclaves to quarantine systems, and place assets under surveillance—all without switching tools.

Because access history, communication data, and containment actions are recorded automatically, IT teams can focus on resolving the incident instead of assembling evidence. The result is faster response, clearer timelines, reduced documentation effort, and a defensible incident record aligned with NIS2 reporting expectations for on-premise IT and OT environments.
