Federal · OMB Memorandum M-26-14
LogRite for Federal Agencies
You can't pass M-26-14 on logs that were never written.
M-26-14 grades every agency on its weakest link, and for most that's the two things no one has been measuring: whether the logs that matter actually exist, and whether anyone can see what their AI is doing. LogRite was built for exactly that.
Storage was the easy part
The last mandate told agencies to store everything. They did, and drowned in petabytes nobody could read, let alone act on. M-26-14 throws that out. The bar now is action: capture the events that matter, monitor them in real time, hunt threats in them, and prove your posture with evidence instead of assertions.
And it names a requirement no prior memo did: visibility into the AI your people and systems now use. Attackers already move at machine speed. The memo expects you to see it.
You're graded on your weakest category, not your average.
M-26-14 scores your agency across several logging categories, then sets your maturity at the lowest one, so a single weak spot drags your whole grade down. For most agencies that weak spot is log coverage or AI visibility: the two things no tool has been able to measure, and exactly what LogRite fixes.
Agency maturity score
Tier 4 / Advanced
What you can put in front of a grader
Four things the mandate asks for, and most of it runs today.
Coverage you can prove
A measured coverage score per system, the exact metric the memo grades, with the gap found and closed at the code level.
A maturity statement, backed by evidence
Your posture mapped to the federal maturity model, showing exactly where your lowest score sits, so you can close it before a grader finds it.
Audit-ready by default
The events auditors need, logged in the required shape as your team builds, with sensitive data masked before it is stored. Hand them over instead of running a project.
Continuous monitoring and threat-hunting
The mandate's operational core: watch activity in real time, and investigate a compromise after the fact. Anomaly detection and Cortex AI let your SOC chase a threat in plain language.
AI visibility is the gap that caps the score
It's the memo's newest requirement and the one most agencies have no answer for. Your people use AI tools; your systems call models in the background; and none of it lands in a log you control. That single blind spot is usually what holds an agency at a lower maturity level.
AI Warden closes it. Every AI call your agency makes is seen, held to your policy, and recorded, with a federal rule-set ready out of the box, so AI visibility moves from your weakest element to a column you can demonstrate.
- Demonstrable visibility into every AI call your systems make
- Sensitive data kept in before it can leave in a prompt
- A complete, audit-ready record of AI activity
- A federal M-26-14 rule-set, ready on day one
