The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces mandatory security requirements for products with digital elements across their entire lifecycle. Initial obligations are already taking effect, with reporting requirements for actively exploited vulnerabilities coming into force in September 2026.
At its core, the CRA formalises what today’s threat landscape already makes unavoidable: identify vulnerabilities, document them and close them systematically – before attackers can exploit them.
Inside the whitepaper, you’ll learn how to identify affected product groups, interpret regulatory requirements and develop a security strategy that fits your business.
Act before your product becomes a liability.
The Cyber Resilience Act places greater responsibility on manufacturers, importers and distributors of connected products. Security by design, vulnerability management and update processes must be in place – and demonstrable – before products reach the market, and maintained throughout their lifecycle. For long-lived products in particular, this calls for a fundamental rethink.
For organisations, this means new obligations across development, procurement, IT and executive management – alongside penalties for non-compliance with CE marking requirements and significantly increased documentation and reporting effort.
