EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance and reporting

Overview

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) imposes mandatory security-by-design, secure over-the-air updates, and lifecycle management obligations on most connected devices sold in the EU. While full CRA requirements become binding on 11 December 2027, specific reporting obligations for actively exploited vulnerabilities and serious security incidents are set to begin on 11 September 2026.

To support implementation, the European Commission approved an 83-page non-binding guidance document on 27 July 2026. This guide, containing 67 worked examples and five flowcharts, assists market-surveillance authorities and notified bodies in interpreting the regulation. It clarifies the scope of products with digital elements, distinguishing between software installed on devices, web-based applications, and source-code licences. For instance, it notes that a downloadable game client falls within scope, whereas a browser-only game does not.

In parallel, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has moved 17 cybersecurity standards into the formal approval process. These standards aim to translate CRA legal obligations into technical requirements for categories including network and edge devices, IoT appliances, and security software. They cover baseline requirements such as modern encryption, secure default configurations, and the use of machine-readable software bills of materials (SBOM).

As the September 2026 deadline for vulnerability reporting approaches, manufacturers are advised to review internal processes. Under the CRA, companies must submit an early warning for actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) via a single reporting platform.
