Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Compliance Services

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold within the European Union. We help manufacturers, software vendors, and technology organizations implement practical security controls, prepare technical documentation, and build secure product lifecycle processes that support CRA compliance from design through end of support.

What is the Cyber Resilience Act?

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) establishes mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements placed on the European Union market. It requires manufacturers to integrate cybersecurity throughout the entire product lifecycle, ensuring products are designed, developed, maintained, and supported with security in mind.

The regulation introduces obligations covering secure development practices, cybersecurity risk management, vulnerability handling, software updates, technical documentation, incident reporting, and ongoing security maintenance. Organizations must be able to demonstrate that cybersecurity risks have been appropriately identified and managed before products are placed on the EU market, while maintaining security throughout the product's supported lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Cyber Resilience Act is an EU regulation introducing mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold within the European Union. It aims to improve the cybersecurity of connected products throughout their entire lifecycle.

  • The CRA primarily applies to manufacturers of products with digital elements, including software publishers, hardware manufacturers, importers, and, in some cases, distributors placing products on the EU market.

  • The regulation applies to most products with digital elements, including software, IoT devices, industrial systems, connected consumer products, cloud-connected hardware, and many business applications. Certain products covered by other EU legislation are exempt.

  • The CRA requires organizations to implement secure-by-design development practices, cybersecurity risk assessments, vulnerability management processes, software security updates, technical documentation, incident reporting capabilities, and ongoing product lifecycle security.

  • The CRA entered into force in December 2024, with implementation occurring in phases. Vulnerability reporting obligations begin before the broader product security requirements, with most compliance obligations applying from December 2027.

  • No. ISO 27001 provides a strong foundation for information security management but does not address all of the product-specific cybersecurity obligations required under the Cyber Resilience Act, particularly around product lifecycle security, vulnerability handling, and technical documentation.

  • A conformity assessment demonstrates that a product meets the applicable cybersecurity requirements before it is placed on the EU market. Depending on the product category, this may involve an internal assessment or assessment by a notified body.

  • We help organizations determine how the CRA applies to their products, perform gap assessments, implement secure development and product lifecycle security practices, prepare technical documentation, and build sustainable compliance programs.
