About Our Cyber Resilience Act Resources
Our Cyber Resilience Act resources are designed to help EU manufacturers, software vendors, and digital product teams understand and implement the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) from the earliest stages of product development.
The CRA introduces mandatory cybersecurity obligations for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. These obligations apply across the entire product lifecycle and cover areas such as secure design, vulnerability handling, technical documentation, and post-market surveillance. Using structured and practical CRA resources allows organizations to clarify their responsibilities early and reduce compliance risk over time.
Practical Cyber Resilience Act Resources for Manufacturers and Software Vendors
These resources focus on real-world implementation rather than abstract legal interpretation. They are intended to support teams responsible for product security, compliance, engineering, and quality management.
Our materials help organizations understand how CRA requirements align with existing processes such as secure development lifecycle practices, vulnerability management programs, and conformity assessment preparation. Where relevant, they also reference official EU guidance to ensure alignment with regulatory expectations, including publications from the European Commission and ENISA.

- ENISA guidance on cybersecurity for connected products: https://www.enisa.europa.eu
What Our Cyber Resilience Act Resources Cover
Product Classification and Scope under the CRA
Several resources address how to determine whether a product falls under the CRA and how it should be classified, including the distinction between default products and Critical Class products. Correct classification is essential, as it directly affects conformity assessment routes, documentation depth, and ongoing obligations.
Technical Documentation and Evidence Requirements
Our checklists and reference materials help teams identify the core technical documentation required under the CRA. This includes security risk assessments, design documentation, vulnerability handling procedures, and evidence supporting compliance with essential cybersecurity requirements.
Vulnerability Handling and Post-Market Obligations
The CRA places strong emphasis on vulnerability management, coordinated disclosure, and incident reporting. Our resources break down these requirements into actionable steps that can be integrated into existing security and support workflows, helping organizations prepare for long-term compliance rather than one-off certification efforts.
Who These Cyber Resilience Act Resources Are For
These Cyber Resilience Act resources are intended for companies developing or placing connected products, software, embedded systems, and IoT solutions on the EU market. They are particularly relevant for organizations preparing for CRA obligations being phased in between 2024 and 2027.
By using structured CRA resources early, teams can build a clear compliance roadmap, align internal stakeholders, and reduce uncertainty around CRA readiness, conformity assessment, and CE marking.
