Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management C-SCRM

Federal C-SCRM Forum Participation and Email Listserv Information

Participation in the Forum, including events and online exchanges, is open to federal C-SCRM program managers or other federal personnel who have a dedicated and recurring responsibility for performing one or more C-SCRM functions. Federal contractors who provide direct C-SCRM programmatic support may also participate upon request by their federal sponsor and approval by the Forum co-hosts.

The Forum may establish working groups or study groups and welcomes all suggestions to the co-hosts.

NIST is hosting the Forum as part of its mandate under the SECURE Technology Act and the Federal Information Security Modernization Act. Jon Boyens and Angela Smith of NIST serve as co-hosts; administrative and logistical support is provided by NIST.

Federal C-SCRM Forum Meetings

Please see the CSRC Events Page for upcoming Forum meetings and registration information. Staff who support information security programs at U.S. federal, state, and local government levels are welcome to attend.  

Contractors who support U.S. federal, state, and local government employees are also invited to attend Forum meetings. For contractors who do not have a valid .gov or .mil email address, their federal sponsor can send an email to scrm-nist@nist.gov asking that the contractor attend the Forum meeting.

Contractors cannot sponsor other contractors to attend Forum events or join the email listserv.
