Ensure your products meet the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) with a structured, gap-driven approach
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), effective as of December 2024, mandates cybersecurity requirements for manufacturers of digital products—hardware and software alike—sold in the European Union. At Julie Security, we help organizations take the first, most critical step toward compliance: a CRA Compliance Assessment.
Our CRA Compliance Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to help organizations understand how their current product design, documentation, development practices, and security controls align with the requirements set by the CRA. This service is tailored for manufacturers, software vendors, and integrators targeting the EU market who need to understand their exposure, responsibilities, and path to compliance.
What the Assessment Covers
We begin by mapping your digital product’s architecture, lifecycle, and market category against the CRA’s classification system. The assessment includes:
- Product scoping and classification: We determine whether your product falls under the CRA scope, and if it qualifies as “critical” or “non-critical” per EU definitions.
- Gap analysis: We evaluate your product’s design, development, deployment, and maintenance processes against the CRA’s essential cybersecurity requirements.
- Security documentation review: We assess whether your documentation covers necessary risk analyses, technical specifications, patching plans, and vulnerability handling.
- Policy and process maturity: We review your internal security policies (e.g., vulnerability disclosure, post-market support, incident reporting) to assess readiness for regulatory scrutiny.
- Development pipeline audit: For software components, we examine your secure development lifecycle (SDLC), including CI/CD pipelines, source code scanning, and third-party component usage.
Key Benefits
- Clarity and Confidence: Understand exactly where your product stands relative to the CRA requirements.
- Actionable Roadmap: Receive a prioritized list of remediation activities and strategic recommendations, aligned to your business model and resource availability.
