FAQS

Questions About Cyber Resilience Act

What is the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)?

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces mandatory cybersecurity standards for products that contain digital components and are made available in the European Union. Its purpose is to improve the security of digital products and increase confidence in the EU market.

The regulation focuses on maintaining strong cybersecurity throughout the entire product lifecycle. To meet CRA obligations, manufacturers are expected to:

  • Integrate security at every stage of development, including threat modeling, secure-by-design principles, and secure coding practices.

  • Release products that meet defined security standards, minimizing known and exploitable weaknesses before market entry.

  • Develop and maintain a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and continuously track vulnerabilities in third-party components.

  • Perform periodic security assessments and testing to detect risks at an early stage.

  • Apply a Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process to handle reported security issues responsibly.

  • Notify relevant authorities, such as CERTs, about actively exploited vulnerabilities without delay.

  • Demonstrate compliance through CE marking, with additional certification requirements where applicable (e.g., EU-CC).

Are you impacted by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)?

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) applies to organizations that place products with digital elements on the EU market. Your company is likely affected if your product:

  • Includes software or digital components

  • Is made available or sold within the European Union

  • Is a new product introduced after 2027, or an existing product that undergoes substantial hardware or software changes

  • Does not fall under excluded sectors, such as medical devices, motor vehicles, civil aviation, or national security–related products

  • Is not free and open-source software developed without a commercial or profit-driven purpose

Which of My Company’s Products or Services Are Covered by the CRA?

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) applies to all products with digital elements made available on the EU market, including hardware, software, and IoT devices. In addition, services that are essential to the functioning of these products, such as cloud-based services, may also fall within the scope of the CRA.

To ensure compliance, organizations should carry out a detailed assessment to identify which of their products and related services are subject to CRA requirements.

What obligations does the Cyber Resilience Act place on companies?

The CRA requires companies to apply cybersecurity controls throughout the product lifecycle, from secure development to post-release monitoring. This includes preventing known vulnerabilities, maintaining an SBOM, performing regular security testing, following a CVD process, reporting active issues, and providing proof of compliance such as CE marking.

What are the key steps to meet the CRA requirements?

A structured approach helps organizations meet CRA requirements efficiently and sustainably.

  1. Conduct a CRA Readiness Assessment:
    Assess current products and processes to identify security and compliance gaps.

  2. Create a Remediation Roadmap:
    Define clear actions and timelines to address identified gaps and meet CRA obligations.

  3. Implement Organizational Security Processes:
    Establish secure development practices, risk management, SBOM maintenance, and a Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process.

  4. Meet Product-Specific Security Requirements:
    Ensure products comply with CRA technical requirements through regular, risk-based security testing and secure-by-design principles.

  5. Provide Proof of Compliance:
    Maintain required documentation and certifications to demonstrate CRA compliance.

How do I check whether my products are secure and CRA-compliant?
  • Determine CRA applicability: Confirm whether your products fall under the scope of the EU Cyber Resilience Act and clarify the extent of compliance required, possibly in coordination with legal or regulatory experts.

  • Perform a CRA readiness assessment: Evaluate your organization’s security posture, development practices, and processes to identify gaps and areas needing improvement.

  • Conduct technical evaluations: Carry out penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and architecture reviews to uncover potential risks at both product and organizational levels.

  • Define remediation actions: Based on the assessment and technical findings, establish clear steps to close gaps, enhance security measures, and align with CRA requirements.

  • Implement ongoing monitoring and documentation: Maintain proper records, evidence, and certifications to demonstrate continuous compliance and ensure security throughout the product lifecycle.
