Cyber Resilience Act

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), is a horizontal regulatory framework of the European Union (EU), which applies to hardware and software products (“products with digital elements”) that are made available on the EU market. Such products include both final products and components placed separately on the market.

It aims to set the conditions for the development of secure hardware and software in the EU, in order to strengthen the EU approach to cybersecurity and improve the functioning of the internal market. It also empowers users to take cybersecurity into account when buying and using such products by ensuring that adequate information is made available to them.

CRA Compliance - Why act now?

Consider this scenario: your typical development cycle runs 18 months, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act comes into force in December 2027. At first glance, that seems like plenty of time. But when you start working backwards from that deadline, a very different picture emerges.

Many engineering leaders are operating under the assumption that they have three years to prepare for CRA compliance. This is a critical miscalculation that could put entire product lines at risk.

Are you ready?

There's a simple test to gauge your current state of readiness: if someone asked you today how you would pass a CRA audit with 48 hours' notice, could you answer confidently? If not, you're already behind the curve.
