- Support Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11 “Preparation, Submission, and Execution of the Budget” guidance to agencies when submitting IT investment data attributable to ITS Delivery, Platform, or Infrastructure solutions. Note the TBM Delivery solution subcomponent of Security & Compliance aligns to a mixture of CYB and ITS functions and activities.
