EU regulatory

NIS2

Europe's cybersecurity directive. When a significant incident happens you have 24 hours for an early warning, 72 hours for an incident notification with an initial assessment, and one month for the full report with root cause. All three pull from the same gateway audit stream, queried at different points in time, so there is no scrambling across siloed systems while the clock runs. The table below maps each Article 23(4) reporting obligation to the gateway output.

Obligation to evidence

ObligationIntentGate output
Art. 23(4)(a) — early warning within 24h of becoming awareWebhook fan-out (Slack, Teams, PagerDuty) on configurable refusal events; auto-creates the 24h ticket
Art. 23(4)(b) — incident notification within 72h with initial assessmentSigned audit export of the affected window with per-call attribution
Art. 23(4)(c) — intermediate report on request from the authoritySame chain, queryable repeatedly without re-correlation
Art. 23(4)(d) — final report within 1 month with root causeDecision-path field per row identifies which rule fired and why
Art. 21(2)(h) — basic cyber hygiene practices and trainingOperator console plus per-decision evidence to brief and train staff against

The 24-hour window is where most organisations fail. The chronology has to exist before the incident, not be reconstructed after. The audit chain is that chronology.
