What is the Cyber Resilience Act?

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is an EU regulation that focuses on the cyber security of products with digital elements, hardware products with software/firmware and software. The aim is to better protect consumers and companies from cyber attacks and to raise the security standards for digital products to a new level. The security of products must therefore be proven throughout their entire life cycle. All those who want to launch the product on the European market - manufacturers as well as the service providers involved - are held accountable. This includes not only development and production, but also the provision of security updates and continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities and their communication to the outside world.

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) came into force on December 11, 2024. By the end of 2027, all new products must meet the requirements of the CRA in order to be placed on the European market.

Accso services for your CRA compliance

Accso provides you with comprehensive support in the implementation of CRA requirements - from the initial analysis and implementation to the long-term maintenance of your products.

1. Impact AnalysisWhich products are covered by the CRA?

We start with a systematic inventory to check the CRA applicability of your software products. We identify affected products and components and categorize them into critical and non-critical areas. The result is a status report that forms the basis for further measures.

2. Review of MeasuresWhat security measures are in place, and where are the gaps?

We use a gap analysis to analyze existing security measures and identify those that need to be expanded or modified. Based on relevant standards such as ISO 27001, we identify compliance gaps and define specific process requirements. From this, we develop an action plan with clear priorities and create a roadmap that includes time and resource plans for implementation.

3. Design and ImplementationHow do you implement CRA requirements?

Accso specializes in customized software development and helps you integrate security requirements directly into the development process according to the principles of Secure by Design and Secure by Default.

We support you in implementing:

  • Security architectures
  • Vulnerability management
  • Automated testing and update processes
4. Support during External AuditsHow do you demonstrate CRA compliance?

Products with digital elements must be certified either by the manufacturer itself or by an external body, depending on their criticality. We guide you through the entire certification process—from preparation to successful auditing.

5. Continuous Maintenance and MonitoringHow do you remain compliant in the long term?

Accso supports you with continuous monitoring and maintenance until the end of the product life cycle:

  • Vulnerability management: Identification and remediation of new vulnerabilities.

  • Regular updates: Ensuring that security updates are provided in a timely manner.

Die Oberfläche ist mit glühenden blauen Punkten übersät, und eine helle grüne Linie verläuft entlang des Randes, was einen futuristischen und lebendigen Eindruck erzeugt. Im Hintergrund sind die Silhouetten von Bäumen vor einem lebhaften orange- und gelbfarbenen Sonnenuntergangshimmel zu sehen.
