Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Compliance
Introduction to CRA
What the Cyber Resilience Act Means
The Cyber Resilience Act introduces a unified security framework for digital products distributed in the European Union. It sets mandatory requirements for secure design, vulnerability management, documentation, and lifecycle maintenance. CRA applies to hardware, software, IoT devices, embedded systems, cloud-connected solutions, and countless digital products entering the EU market.
Why CRA Matters Today
As products become more connected, cybersecurity becomes a core expectation—not just a technical feature. CRA ensures user safety, strengthens trust in digital technologies, and prevents security vulnerabilities from becoming market risks. For companies, achieving CRA compliance is not only a regulatory milestone—it is a competitive advantage that opens the door to long-term market access.

CRA Compliance Services
CRA Readiness and
Gap Assessment
We begin with a structured assessment of your product against the full CRA requirements. Our team identifies gaps, clarifies obligations, and delivers a clear roadmap that defines priorities, timelines, and actionable improvements.
Secure-by-Design and
SDLC Consulting
We strengthen your software development lifecycle by integrating threat modelling, secure coding, hardening techniques, and automated security controls. This ensures compliance with CRA design and development obligations while improving product resilience.
SBOM Creation and
Vulnerability Monitoring
CRA requires complete visibility into third-party components. We generate accurate Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), implement dependency tracking, and set up continuous vulnerability monitoring using modern tooling and automation.
Security Updates and
Incident Reporting
We help you design update mechanisms, patch strategies, vulnerability disclosure processes, and incident-handling workflows that meet CRA obligations for security maintenance throughout the product lifecycle.
Documentation and CE
Marking Preparation
Our team prepares or reviews all required documentation, such as Technical Files, risk assessments, design evidence, test reports, and security processes. We streamline the path toward CE marking under CRA.
Conformity Assessment
Support
For products classified as important or critical, we help you navigate the required conformity assessments, coordinate with notified bodies, and ensure your product meets all technical and procedural expectations.
Security Testing for
CRA Requirements
- Penetration testing
- Firmware and embedded security testing
- API and mobile application testing
- IoT device security validation
Our testing generates the evidence required for conformity assessments.
