Regulatory Framework

The CRA is in Effect. The Clock is Ticking.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act turns product cybersecurity into an operational obligation. Manufacturers now need evidence, reporting workflows, and audit discipline before the 2026 and 2027 deadlines.

// DECEMBER 2024

CRA Entry into Force

The regulation applies across the EU. All digital product manufacturers must launch their compliance program immediately.

// SEPTEMBER 2026

Reporting Obligations

Manufacturers must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents through the CRA Single Reporting Platform, including an early warning within 24 hours after becoming aware.

// DECEMBER 2027

Full Product Compliance

Products with digital elements placed on the EU market must meet the applicable CRA cybersecurity, conformity-assessment, technical-documentation, and CE-marking requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the most important EU regulation ever adopted regarding digital product cybersecurity. It imposes mandatory security requirements on all manufacturers of products with digital elements on the EU market.

The CRA applies to any manufacturer, importer, or distributor of products with digital elements on the European market — whether based in Europe or not. This includes SaaS providers, IoT manufacturers, app developers, hardware builders.

Three key dates: 10 December 2024 — the CRA entered into force. 11 September 2026 — Article 14 reporting obligations apply. 11 December 2027 — the CRA applies in full, including conformity assessment and CE-marking obligations for products placed on the EU market.

An SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is an inventory of software components. Under the CRA, manufacturers need component and vulnerability-handling evidence to support supply-chain traceability, security maintenance, technical documentation, and ongoing vulnerability operations.

Yes. CRA Direct is available as an on-premises or private cloud deployment for organizations that require 100% data sovereignty. Your compliance evidence — SBOMs, vulnerability data, incident reports, audit trails — stays entirely within your controlled environment, behind your own security perimeter.

Duration varies by product complexity, classification, evidence maturity, and whether third-party conformity assessment is needed. A readiness assessment can usually identify the scope, classification, evidence gaps, and roadmap within 2 weeks.
