Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) and Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs)

IM-23-03

Publication Date: February 23, 2023
Current as of:

This Information Memorandum (IM) provides title IV-E agencies that choose to develop a CCWIS with information on SBOMs.  Agencies can use SBOMs to enhance CCWIS security by supporting source code integrity and software supply chain security.  This IM provides information and resources applicable to federal information technology (IT) procurements.  While the Children’s Bureau (CB) does not currently require a SBOM for state and tribal CCWIS procurements, we strongly encourage title IV-E agencies to require a SBOM with CCWIS procurements and contracts to increase IT security.
