This publication augments the secure software development practices and tasks defined in SP 800-218, Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) Version 1.1: Recommendations for Mitigating the Risk of Software Vulnerabilities. SP 800-218A adds practices, tasks, recommendations, considerations, notes, and informative references that are specific to AI model development throughout the software development life cycle.
These additions are documented in the form of an SSDF Community Profile to support Executive Order (EO) 14110, Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, which tasked NIST with “developing a companion resource to the [SSDF] to incorporate secure development practices for generative AI and for dual-use foundation models.”
This Community Profile is intended to be useful to the producers of AI models, the producers of AI systems that use those models, and the acquirers of those AI systems. This Profile should be used in conjunction with SP 800-218.
