Trout Access Gate Features

Protect on premise assets and meet CMMC requirements

Protect on premise assets and meet CMMC requirements

Protect on premise assets and meet CMMC requirements

CMMC now requires defense suppliers to prove they are safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information to win or keep DoD work.

Trout Access Gate gives manufacturers a fast path to compliance by enforcing controls on site, keeping data inside the facility.

Asset Discovery & Inventory

Automatically detect every device including CNCs, PLCs, servers, laptops, sensors and contractor equipment.

Identity and Access Enforcement

Limit access to CUI systems based on user identity and role. Require authentication before any connection to protected assets.

Micro Segmentation of CUI Systems

Separate sensitive machines from general networks. Restrict movement and contain risks inside controlled segments.

Continuous Monitoring & Traffic Inspection

Observe activity in real time for unusual communication, unauthorized access and policy violations.

Automated Logging & Reporting

Capture access events, user actions and asset status in a centralized location that supports assessments and audit reviews.

Secure Remote and Contractor Access

Provide controlled, temporary access for maintenance and vendors without exposing the plant or CUI systems.

FAQ

How Trout Access Gate Secures On-Premise Systems & Supports CMMC Requirements

What CMMC levels does Trout support

Trout is designed to help manufacturers meet the technical expectations of both CMMC Level 1 and Level 2. It provides many of the controls needed to protect Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information.

Do we still need a cloud enclave like GCC High or Prevail

No. Trout allows many organizations to keep CUI processing and access controls on premise rather than moving to a dedicated cloud enclave. Some companies still choose an enclave for email, document workflows or collaboration, but Trout greatly reduces that dependency.

Does Trout mean we do not need other security tools

No. Trout covers a significant portion of the network, access and monitoring requirements, but it is not a full CMMC stack on its own. It should be used alongside endpoint protection such as Microsoft Defender or another EDR, along with secure email and strong authentication policies. These elements work together to protect workstations and cloud applications while Trout secures the operational environment.

What about physical and facility security requirements

Trout does not address physical controls. Organizations are still responsible for locking sensitive areas, managing visitor access and maintaining badge procedures. These are part of CMMC and must be handled separately from technology.

How does Trout protect CUI systems

Trout creates a protected enclave around systems that store or process CUI inside the facility. Users authenticate before connecting, and they reach resources through Trout’s on premise proxy rather than directly on the network. This approach allows Trout to verify identity, apply access rules, and monitor every connection. Administrators can require remote users to pass through the same gateway, or route them through a virtual desktop or jump host that is isolated from the rest of the network. All traffic into and out of the enclave is inspected and recorded, which gives assessors clear evidence that policy controls are being applied in practice.

Can Trout run entirely on premise

Yes. Trout is a local appliance that enforces policy within your facility. There is no dependency on external cloud services for core enforcement, which allows CUI sensitive environments to remain fully local if desired.

Does Trout work with legacy equipment that cannot run software agents

Yes. Because Trout controls access at the network layer rather than on the device, it protects CNCs, PLCs, HMIs and other industrial systems without modifying those machines.

Can remote users and suppliers still access CUI assets

Yes, but only after explicit authorization. Access can be limited to specific systems, and all sessions pass through the same proxy control point, creating an identical level of oversight for internal and external users. Every action that touches the enclave is logged for review.

Key takeaways

Summary of Trout Access Gate and NIS2 Coverage

Trout gives manufacturers a practical path to meeting CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements without moving their operations to the cloud.

By placing a simple appliance inside each facility, Trout creates a protected enclave around systems that handle Controlled Unclassified Information. Users authenticate through the identity provider you already use and connect through Trout’s proxy or virtual desktop access point, which allows every session to be controlled and logged.

Trout works with legacy equipment, supports remote users, runs fully on premise and provides clear evidence for audits. It is not a full security stack, so it is designed to be paired with secure email, endpoint protection and physical safeguards.

Trout reduces the burden of CMMC by securing the shop floor with minimal disruption and no change to existing machines.
