Quickcheck Cyber Resilience Act [CRA] –
Are you affected?

Take 2 minutes to find out if you, as a manufacturer or distributor, are affected by the Cyber Resilience Act regulations.

What is the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) about?

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) developed by the EU Commission defines standards for the cyber security of connected devices and thus improves the cyber security of products. It does not matter whether the products are connected to the Internet, communicate with each other or via internal interfaces. The CRA applies not only to finished end products, but also to all preliminary products and components. – In other words, all components of the hardware supply chain.
The CRA regulations apply not only to manufacturers of products with digital elements, but also to distributors and importers.

  • Ensure that products with digital elements placed
    on the EU market have less vulnerabilities

  • Remain manufacturers responsible for
    cybersecurity throughout a product’s life cycle

  • Improve transparency on security of hardware
    and software products

  • Better protection for business users and consumers

Which product phases does the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) impact?

The Cyber Resilience Act requires the establishment of risk-appropriate cybersecurity measures for affected products in the design, development and production phases, as well as during marketing and use.

The types of actions vary depending on criticality.

What´s the tentative timeline?
