How to be Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Ready
Stop the CRA Fog from Freezing Your Roadmap
The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) mandates strict „security-by-design“ standards for all products with digital elements (PDEs). If your hardware is directly, indirectly, logically, or physically connected to any device or network, you are on the hook.
Ignoring CRA compliance is no longer a viable strategy. With deadlines closing in, the pressure isn’t just coming from EU regulators. Yet, most hardware manufacturers face the same paralysis: a lack of clear scope, the fear of skyrocketing costs (often eating up to 20% of R&D budgets), and the dread of management pointing fingers without a clear plan.

Why to start thinking of CRA now
The B2B Blockade
Procurement teams now face direct legal risks and strictly require CRA compliance documentation before closing any deals. If your team cannot immediately provide these records, your promising sales will be put on an indefinite hold.
R&D Paralysis
Without a dedicated compliance specialist, the heavy burden of navigating this new legislation falls directly on your core engineering team. This forces your top talent to handle regulations instead of building new features, inevitably stalling product releases and burning R&D budgets.
Visible Market Exposure
CRA compliance failures will not remain a hidden internal issue, as they will quickly be exposed during mandatory supply chain security audits. These highly visible failures will become known across your customer base, rapidly eroding trust and damaging your business reputation.
