OUR CYBER RESILIENCE ACT (CRA) COMPLIANCE CONSULTANCY SERVICES
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) – Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 – introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for all products with digital elements (PDEs), including connected hardware, software, and cloud-based components.
Like the GDPR, the CRA applies on a cross-border basis, covering any manufacturer, importer, or distributor providing connected hardware, software, or remote data processing solutions within the EU.
Non-compliance can lead to penalties of up to €15 million, or 2.5% of global turnover, market withdrawal & reputational damage
From 2027, all PDEs placed on the EU market must comply with CRA standards for secure design, risk management, and vulnerability handling throughout their lifecycle.
Our CRA consultancy services help manufacturers, software developers, importers, and distributors achieve compliance with these new EU obligations.
We provide gap analysis, documentation support, conformity assessment preparation, and lifecycle governance aligned with ENISA, ISO, and NIST frameworks.
Our Key Focus Areas
• Secure-by-Design and Secure-by-Default implementation
• Cybersecurity risk assessment and SBOM management
• Vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting (CSIRT / ENISA)
• Conformity assessments and CE marking readiness
• Open-source and third-party risk management
We help you build trust, demonstrate compliance, and maintain resilient digital products ready for the European market.
The CRA & Cybersecurity
The objective of the CRA is to ensure that all digital products are designed, developed, and maintained with robust cybersecurity measures throughout their lifecycle, by imposing new obligations for vulnerability management, incident reporting, and conformity assessment.
We provide specialised consultancy to help your organisation achieve full CRA compliance — from initial readiness assessments to implementation, documentation, and third-party coordination.
Our services are aligned with ENISA guidance, ISO and NIST standards, and European best practices in cybersecurity and product assurance.
Is Your Organisation Under the CRA?
The CRA applies to Products with Digital Elements (PDEs). If your organisation has any of the following elements, then it may well fall under to scope of the CRA:
• Hardware: smartphones, routers, laptops, IoT devices, smart meters, microprocessors
• Software: operating systems, firmware, mobile and desktop apps, software libraries, app stores, games
• Remote Data Processing: cloud/edge-based solutions essential to product core functionality
Our CRA Compliance Framework
In order to fulfil the obligations under the CRA, our primary areas to assess your organisation’s compliance readiness and ongoing conformity include the following:
Cybersecurity Risk Management
• Conduct end-to-end cybersecurity risk assessments for all PDEs
• Define risk mitigation controls based on product criticality
• Implement secure design, coding, and configuration standards
• Integrate supply chain risk management and SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) practices
• Establish continuous security testing, patching, and lifecycle monitoring
Vulnerability Handling & Incident Response
• Develop and document vulnerability management policies/disclosure mechanisms
• Set up coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) processes
• Define incident classification, escalation/response workflows
• Implement CRA-compliant reporting to CSIRT/ENISA (for the requisite 24/72-hour timelines)
• Ensure communication/corrective actions to end-users
Governance & Documentation
• Create CRA-compliant documentation/ conformity files
• Maintain traceability of components, suppliers + version updates
• Define accountability for product security at board levels
• Establish cybersecurity policies
• Integrate CRA oversight into enterprise compliance frameworks
Conformity Assessment & CE Marking
• Determine product classification (default, important, critical)
• Prepare relevant documentation / self-assessment files for non-critical PDEs
• Coordinate with Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs / Notified Bodies) for critical products
• Support CE marking process & maintain post-market compliance monitoring
Supply Chain & Open-Source Management
• Perform due diligence on third-party components/suppliers
• Assess open-source dependencies/ manage CRA obligations
• Implement third-party risk assessments/ongoing monitoring
• Support open-source stewards to establish security/disclosure frameworks
How We Do It
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
We identify your CRA scope, product categories, and cybersecurity maturity level.
Step 2 – Gap Analysis & Implementation Plan
We perform a CRA readiness assessment and develop a tailored roadmap with defined milestones and responsibilities.
Step 3 – Conformity Assessment Preparation
We help you compile documentation, risk analyses, and evidence required for CE marking and third-party review.
Step 4 – Governance, Policy & Lifecycle Integration
We embed secure development, vulnerability handling, and incident reporting processes into your organisational practices.
Step 5 – Ongoing Monitoring & Post-Market Support
We assist with continuous compliance management, updates, and interaction with EU market surveillance authorities.
