NIST SP 800-218 · Secure Software Development Framework · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Adopt the NIST SSDF, without turning the framework into practices yourself.
Every SSDF practice handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the secure build environment and code signing through SBOM and third-party components to vulnerability response, with the evidence an assessor examines.
SSDF-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

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

35
Practices as adopt-ready controls. Every SSDF practice across the four groups, from the secure build environment and code signing through SBOM, secure coding and testing to vulnerability response, written so you personalize and apply it, using the real SSDF task identifiers.
35
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each practice, exactly what an assessor examines, plus where software supply chains break, so you close the gap first.
1
SSDF Control Matrix, pre-built. Every practice in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status and evidence location across the development lifecycle.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each practice and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

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.

The SBOM and code signing are what buyers now ask for
Federal and enterprise buyers increasingly require a software bill of materials and signed, integrity-verified releases. The SSDF builds both. This Kit makes the SBOM, provenance and code-signing practices adopt-ready, so the attestations your customers now demand are backed by real controls.

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.

PS.2.1 Verify software release integrity through code signing PROTECT THE SOFTWARE
Implement this practice

[Organization] shall provide a mechanism, such as cryptographic code signing with securely managed keys, that lets acquirers verify each software release is authentic and has not been tampered with. [Organization] shall protect signing keys in hardware or a managed key service, restrict signing to authorized pipelines, and publish verification instructions to recipients.

Supply-chain note.

Release integrity verification is an explicit EO 14028 supply chain requirement and a defense against distribution channel tampering.

Evidence an assessor examines
  • Code signing policy and key management procedures
  • Hardware security module or key vault configuration for signing keys
  • Signed release artifacts with verifiable signatures
  • Published signature verification instructions for acquirers
Common finding they raise: Releases are distributed unsigned, so recipients cannot distinguish a legitimate build from a tampered or counterfeit one.

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.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 35 practices
✓  A completed SSDF control matrix
✓  The evidence an assessor examines
✓  Your build environment and code signing defined
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓  The common supply-chain gaps designed out

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.

What if it is not for me? A 30-day money-back guarantee.

Do not turn the framework into practices by hand.
Every SSDF practice is fast to adopt with the Kit. It is instant, and it is guaranteed.
Add it to your cart and adopt the SSDF this weekend.
