Updated SBOM Elements for 2025
CISA's 2025 draft updates the recommended elements of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to reflect improvements in SBOM tooling and greater maturity of implementation. If you create or use software, these updated elements describe what information is recommended to include in an SBOM going forward.
CISA Seeks Public Comment on SBOMs
If you make or use software, CISA published a draft called the "2025 Minimum Elements for a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)" and is asking for public comments in 2025. You can submit feedback on the draft guidance so your views may shape the final recommendations.
Guidance Is Voluntary, Not Mandatory
CISA describes the 2025 Minimum Elements as proposed voluntary guidance. That means CISA is recommending these SBOM elements rather than imposing a mandatory requirement.
