The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is moving from interpretation to implementation. Following the publication of the European Commission’s CRA guidance and the introduction of CRA manufacturer reporting obligations on 11 September 2026, organizations supplying products with digital elements to the European market are entering a new phase of CRA compliance.
For many, the challenge is: “What should we be doing now, and what needs to be in place before full application in December 2027?”
Download DNV Cyber’s whitepaper, What the EU Cyber Resilience Act means for manufacturers, which outlines a practical seven-step framework designed to help manufacturers address these questions.
Key takeaways include:
- Actionable priorities for managing vulnerability reporting obligations now and meeting full European Conformity (CE) marking compliance by 11 December 2027.
- A seven-step compliance preparedness framework covering product scope analysis, risk assessment, supply-chain due diligence, and technical documentation.
- How to move beyond basic regulatory compliance by leveraging product cybersecurity as a business enabler that builds customer trust.
The whitepaper is intended for leaders across product security, product compliance, product ownership, R&D, and quality and compliance working at organizations in the early stages of CRA preparedness who are looking to move from interpreting the regulation to implementing it in practice.
