EU Cyber Resilience Act Data Sheet
Meet EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements with compiled-code analysis, SBOM validation, and audit-ready evidence aligned to regulator expectations.
Why This Data Sheet Matters:
This data sheet shows how those requirements translate into operational reality.
The CRA raises the bar for software security and accountability. Compliance now requires verifiable technical evidence, not policies or questionnaires.
Organizations must be able to demonstrate that:
Products ship without known exploitable vulnerabilities
Manufacturers must ensure that software and devices are released without known exploitable vulnerabilities and that security issues are addressed before products reach customers.
Secure-by-default configurations are enforced
Products must ship with secure configurations enabled by default, minimizing risk and reducing reliance on manual hardening after deployment.
SBOMs accurately reflect what is deployed
Organizations must be able to produce accurate SBOMs that represent the actual compiled components running in software and devices.
Vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, remediated, and reported on strict timelines
Security teams must continuously identify and manage vulnerabilities while meeting defined timelines for remediation and regulatory disclosure.
Conformity documentation and CE-marking evidence can withstand regulatory scrutiny
Organizations must maintain clear technical documentation and evidence demonstrating compliance with CRA requirements during audits or regulatory review.
