Impactful Policy Frameworks
NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) 2023
Published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this framework provides voluntary guidance to manage risks associated with artificial intelligence, focusing on trustworthy AI development and deployment.
This framework will guide how AI-powered testing tools are developed and deployed, requiring SDT Corp. to ensure their AI/ML testing solutions adhere to principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability, potentially impacting their service offerings and client compliance requirements.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 (ongoing updates)
Managed by the Department of Defense (DoD), CMMC is a certification program designed to enhance the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), requiring contractors to implement specific cybersecurity practices and undergo assessments.
Companies working with the US DoD will require robust security testing, including API security, increasing demand for SDT Corp.'s specialized services that can help clients meet stringent CMMC compliance requirements.
Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO 14028) 2021
This US Executive Order mandates various actions to improve federal government cybersecurity, including enhanced software supply chain security, a focus on Zero Trust architecture, and more rigorous security testing.
The increased emphasis on software supply chain security and rigorous testing, especially for APIs and microservices, will drive greater demand for SDT Corp.'s expertise in comprehensive and automated testing services among federal contractors and potentially beyond.
