NIST Releases Draft NISTIR 8276 for Comment, “Key Practices in Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management: Observations from Industry,” and Publishes Cyber SCRM Case Studies

NIST requests feedback on Draft NISTIR 8276, Key Practices in Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management: Observations from industry. This publication is based on an analysis of interviews with companies in 2015 and 2019, which led to the development of 24 case studies; prior NIST research in cyber supply chain risk management research; and a number of standards and industry best practices documents. NISTIR 8276 is intended to provide a high-level summary of practices deemed by subject matter experts to be foundational to an effective cyber supply chain risk management program.


A public comment period for this document is open through March 4, 2020. See the publication details for a copy of the draft and instructions for submitting comments. NOTE: A call for patent claims is included on page iv of this draft.

Additionally, NIST has published six new case studies on Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management. Since the release of the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (NIST Cybersecurity Framework) and its companion Roadmap for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity in 2014, NIST has researched industry practices in cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) through engagement with industry leaders. In 2015, NIST subsequently released 18 case studies describing how various industry organizations approach C-SCRM.
