CMDB visibility control

How CI data visibility is controlled for OT stakeholders.

Key Takeaways

  • Visibility control for OT data within the CMDB remains relatively immature, with many organizations either not managing OT data within the CMDB or relying on limited governance-based access structures.
  • The largest share of respondents (24%) reported that OT is not managed within the CMDB, highlighting ongoing challenges in centralized OT visibility and governance integration.
  • Access control based on CSDM and ownership structures (10%) remains limited, suggesting that standardized and scalable visibility governance models are still at an early stage of adoption.
  • The low adoption of OT module–based access controls indicates that many organizations continue to rely on fragmented or manual visibility management approaches rather than structured governance and role-based operational models.
