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.

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.
