Executive Order 14028 and the OMB M-22-18, Enhancing the Security of the Software Supply Chain through Secure Software Development Practices, and OMB M-23-16, Update to Memorandum M-22-18, required development of an attestation form in which software producers serving the federal government will be required to confirm implementation of specific security practices.
To ensure a safe and secure digital ecosystem for all Americans, CISA released the Secure Software Development Attestation Form on March 11, 2024, taking a major step in the implementation of its requirement that producers of software used by the Federal Government attest to the adoption of secure development practices.
Due to CISA guidance, the RRB will be reaching out to about 10,000 software vendors to collect information related to an Information Technology Modernization Project.
