About SSI

The Software Safety Institute (SSI) is a public-interest nonprofit working to reduce preventable harm from software. SSI was founded in 2026 by Lauren Zabierek and Bob Lord, who started and co-led the Secure by Design initiative at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). SSI publishes research and analysis on software safety and works to move accountability upstream, to the companies that design and ship software. It is a 501(c)(3) organization based in the United States and is independent of any vendor.
