Flexibility: High (Provides practices and tasks, not rigid controls; adaptable to various SDLC models like Agile, Waterfall, DevOps). Audit Intensity: Moderate (No formal certification, but requires self-attestation for federal suppliers; assessments focus on demonstrating implementation of the practices).

February 3, 2022 - Few software development life cycle (SDLC) models explicitly address software security in detail, so secure software development practices usually need to be added to each SDLC model to ensure that the software being developed is well-secured. This document recommends the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) – a core set of high-level secure software development practices that can be integrated into each SDLC implementation.

April 26, 2026 - NIST SP 800-218 is the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) v1.1, published by NIST in February 2022. After Executive Order 14028 and OMB Memorandum M-22-18, federal software suppliers must self-attest to conformance with SSDF practices. Beyond government, banks, healthcare, and large commercial buyers now reference SSDF in vendor risk questionnaires.

April 8, 2026 - Learn the key aspects of NIST SPs 800-34, 800-61, 800-63, and 800-218 and how they guide security for federal organizations.

This document outlines how our capabilities align with EO 14028 Section 4 (“Enhancing Software Supply Chain Security“) and the authoritative requirements of NIST SP 800-218, including the ability to create, ingest, and continuously monitor SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials).

May 8, 2026 - NIST SP 800-218, the Secure Software Development Framework, was published in February 2022 to replace and consolidate the older fragmented body of NIST secure development guidance.

March 24, 2026 - As mandated in the “cybersecurity EO,” the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Council will soon draft new regulations requiring all software suppliers to the US government to self-attest to compliance with NIST 800-218, released in February 2022.

May 10, 2023 - SSDF Table Practices Tasks Notional Implementation Examples References Define Security Requirements for Software Development (PO.1): Ensure that security requirements for software development are known at all times so that they can be taken into account throughout the SDLC and duplication of effort can be minimized because the requirements information can be collected once and shared.

March 3, 2022 - Review the Design (PW.2). It’s sort of obvious, but having a second (or third) set of eyes reviewing a high level design, especially when dealing with sensitive data or complicated security controls, can help catch costly mistakes early.

July 26, 2024 - This document augments the secure software development practices and tasks defined in Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) version 1.1 by adding practices, tasks, recommendations, considerations, notes, and informative references that are specific to AI model development throughout the software development life cycle.

February 3, 2026 - We are now seeing indicators of how the US Government intends to drive the changes they believe are necessary. One of the requirements they are implementing is that all software vendors attest that they developed their software in accordance with NIST 800-218, the Secure Software Development Framework, or SSDF.
