The EU CRA is changing the way cybersecurity evolves in Europe, creating strict security-by-design requirements for all digital products. This means to achieve EU CRA compliance, businesses must integrate cybersecurity into the entire product lifecycle. Therefore, manufacturers, vendors, and software publishers will all be affected by this new regulation.
Failure to comply with this regulation will have significant financial and operational consequences. For this reason, businesses now must fully understand the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). In this guide, we will outline the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), including the implementation timeline and a list of compliance activities.
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the first of its kind and will establish minimum security requirements for all digital products sold within the European Union. The goal of the CRA is to reduce the incidence of systemic cyber risk in the EU. It complements broader EU cybersecurity regulations such as the NIS2 Directive.
Through the legislature, we will be holding manufacturers and service providers accountable for all aspects of their respective supply chains. The CRA Cyber Resilience Act also supports the EU regulatory initiative to develop a framework for digital trust by establishing standards for securing digital products within the EU.
