End-to-end guidance through EU cybersecurity certification and CE marking
As cybersecurity regulations evolve, especially in the European Union, digital product manufacturers and software providers are now responsible for demonstrating conformity with strict technical and organizational requirements. The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is one of the most significant regulatory frameworks to date, requiring manufacturers to assess and document product security throughout the lifecycle—from design to post-market activities.
Julie Security’s Conformity Assessment Support service is designed to help organizations successfully complete this process. We provide technical and procedural expertise to ensure your product aligns with applicable EU cybersecurity requirements and that all documentation, evidence, and assessments are in place for CE marking and market access.
What Is a Conformity Assessment?
In the EU context, a conformity assessment is a structured process in which manufacturers demonstrate that their product complies with applicable legal requirements—such as those defined by the CRA or other New Legislative Framework (NLF) regulations. For cybersecurity-related products, this includes meeting essential security requirements, managing risks, maintaining secure development practices, and responding to vulnerabilities post-release.
Depending on the classification of your product (e.g., CRA Class I or Class II), the assessment may be self-managed or may involve a notified body—a certified EU third party that verifies your product’s compliance.
Our Conformity Assessment Support Services Include:
1. Assessment Strategy & Planning
We help define the right conformity pathway based on your product classification, risk level, and intended EU market use. We guide you in choosing between internal assessment and third-party evaluation.
2. Documentation & Technical File Preparation
We support the preparation of all required materials, including:
- Security risk assessments
- Technical architecture overviews
- Secure development lifecycle evidence
- Vulnerability management policies
- Incident response plans
- Update and patch management processes
These documents form your technical file, a central component of the CE marking process.
3. Notified Body Engagement Support
For high-risk products requiring third-party review, we help coordinate with an appropriate EU notified body. We prepare your teams, clarify submission requirements, and assist with follow-ups or remediations.
4. Pre-Assessment Gap Review
Before engaging in formal review, we conduct a pre-assessment to identify any remaining gaps in documentation, controls, or testing, reducing the risk of costly rejections or delays.
5. Lifecycle and Post-Market Planning
The CRA also requires ongoing support for security monitoring, incident handling, and vulnerability disclosure. We help develop these programs and include them as part of your conformity strategy.
