Reporting Routes and Closed Response Authority

Incident reporting and response boundary

Latticra records incident reporting vocabulary, evidence-preservation expectations, and future response gates. It does not monitor systems, detect compromises, collect forensic artifacts, contact agencies, notify customers, recover systems, or provide incident-response services.

Current Rule

Reporting awareness is not response authority.

The baseline documents how future Latticra work should talk about vulnerability reports, suspected compromise triage, ransomware and data-extortion reporting paths, evidence preservation, communications routing, and public non-claims. It keeps all response effects closed until separate operator-approved contracts and evidence exist.

01

Reporting routes

CISA, FBI, IC3, local law-enforcement, regulator, and legal/privacy review routes must be visible before any future report-assistance feature exists.

02

Incident classification

Incident kind, asset scope, data sensitivity, reporting owner, and operator authorization must be known before action is even considered.

03

Evidence preservation

Evidence, volatile-evidence decisions, chain-of-custody expectations, and out-of-band communications must be recorded before response claims.

04

Response gate

Host isolation, forensic collection, credential rotation, reporting submission, notification, restoration, and artifact deletion remain denied.

Current Snapshot

The baseline is present, but response behavior is zero.

These fields should be read as an incident-response non-claim: Latticra has records and guardrails, not operational response capability.

Response Gate

No future response request can act without a complete gate.

Operator confirmation may be recorded as metadata in a later system, but it cannot override a denied response effect. Any real reporting or response path needs policy decision visibility, denial reason reporting, an audit record, and legal/privacy review prompts before promotion.

Present now

Reporting-route vocabulary, response-gate fields, status record, guard script, public non-claims, and source references for CISA, FBI, IC3, and joint ransomware guidance.

Required before assistance

Reporting subject, incident class, affected asset, affected data sensitivity, operator authorization, organizational reporting owner, route visibility, and legal/privacy review prompts.

Denied now

Host isolation, forensic collection, credential rotation, system restore, federal report submission, law-enforcement contact, customer notification, breach notification, ransomware payment decision support, indicator publication, and artifact deletion.

Closed Effects

The baseline names response work so it cannot appear by implication.

Incident-related wording is guarded because it sits next to high-risk operational, legal, and privacy boundaries. A visible denial is better than an implied capability.

Visible

Reporting routes

Future interfaces may display reporting-route prompts only after source, ownership, authorization, and legal/privacy boundaries are explicit.

Closed

Forensic behavior

Latticra does not collect volatile evidence, acquire artifacts, preserve chain of custody, image systems, or perform forensic analysis.

Closed

External contact

Latticra does not submit reports, contact agencies, notify customers, publish indicators, or speak for an operator or organization.

Closed

Recovery behavior

Latticra does not isolate hosts, rotate credentials, restore systems, delete artifacts, make ransomware payment decisions, or provide recovery services.

Local Commands

Validate the reporting boundary without doing response work.

These checks validate records and public-entry alignment only. They do not monitor, investigate, report, notify, contact, collect, contain, restore, or delete anything.
