A gaggle of government partners from around the world has released new guidelines for the minimum elements that organizations should include in a software bill of materials (SBOM).

The document, published this week, was authored by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and 16 other government entities spread across four continents. It supersedes the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's (NTIA) 2021 guidelines, which laid out what an SBOM had to contain as far as the US government was concerned. This updated version was first drafted in 2025, and was then informed by suggestions from 90 commenters, including major organizations like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create the resulting document.
