# OMB M-26-14: Why federal agencies must fix asset visibility first

**[Tenable Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/tenable-blog)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

OMB M-26-14 replaces M-21-31 with a risk-based logging maturity model (levels 0–4) that ties every milestone to asset inventory completeness. Agencies must demonstrate 70–95% IT/OT/IoT asset capture across levels 1–4, with level 1 due 120 days and level 3 due 321 days after CISA publishes the logging reference architecture. Because overall maturity is scored at the lowest-performing element, incomplete asset inventories block all progress. OT and IoT devices are explicitly in scope, making passive discovery tools essential. Tenable positions its CDM-approved platform as the solution for building authoritative inventories, safe OT scanning, and AI-driven risk prioritization to help agencies meet the aggressive deadlines.
