Here is the honest situation. Software supply chain attacks made secure development a requirement, and the NIST SSDF is the framework behind it, cited by Executive Order 14028 and demanded by federal buyers and enterprises. It runs across four practice groups: prepare the organization, protect the software with code integrity and signing, produce well-secured software with threat modeling, secure coding and testing, and respond to vulnerabilities. Turning that into practices your teams run, with the SBOM, the signing and the evidence, is real work, and an unprotected build pipeline or an unmanaged open-source component is exactly where software supply chains break.
This Kit removes that translation. It is every SSDF practice written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an assessor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF v1.1) with the real practice identifiers, with the secure build environment, code signing, SBOM and third-party component management, threat modeling and vulnerability response called out, and the EO 14028 supply-chain context noted. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is providing a mechanism for verifying software release integrity, PS.2.1, the code-signing practice. All 35 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A practice you cannot evidence is a claim. This tells you exactly what an assessor examines and where software supply chains break, for every practice.
- Real SSDF task identifiers. Every control uses its real SSDF identifier, from PO.1.1 to RV.3.1, so it maps straight to a self-attestation or a customer questionnaire.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The SSDF underpins the EO 14028 software supply chain requirements and aligns with the PCI Secure SLC and ISO 27034, so this feeds your wider software security program.
Who buys this
Software producers selling to government or enterprise, the DevSecOps and security leads who own secure development, and consultants preparing a self-attestation. Whether it is a first adoption or a supply-chain attestation, you save weeks and walk in with the practices and evidence structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it use the real SSDF identifiers? Yes. Every control uses its real PO, PS, PW or RV task identifier, so it maps to a self-attestation or customer questionnaire.
Does it cover SBOM? Yes. The software bill of materials, provenance and third-party component management are built as practices.
How does it relate to EO 14028? The SSDF is the framework behind the Executive Order 14028 software supply chain requirements, and the Kit notes that context.
