EU Cyber Resilience Act:
Compliance Essentials for Selling Digital Products in Europe

EU Cyber Resilience Act Redefines How Products Are Developed

The European Union (EU) is raising the bar for cybersecurity across all products with digital elements, and in the process reshaping how software-driven products are designed, developed and maintained. The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a new, market-shaping regulation that requires any product containing software or connectivity to meet defined cybersecurity standards throughout its entire lifecycle.

Created to strengthen trust in digital products and reduce security risks across the EU, the CRA will impact almost every product with software, and applies to all manufacturers, importers and distributors selling hardware, embedded systems or software-enabled devices into the EU market – even companies based outside the EU.

While compliance is complex, non-compliance is not an option as it can result in blocked market access, mandatory product recalls and substantial financial penalties. To help you navigate the process, we’ve created this guide, which offers practical steps you can take to assess and prepare your products to ensure compliance.
