Security & Compliance

The reporting clock
starts 11 September 2026.

Every manufacturer of a product with digital elements sold into the EU owes a 24-hour early warning, a 72-hour notification and a 14-day final report on actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents — including on products already in the field. This is the engineering that makes that possible.

Why it matters

Most product teams treat the Cyber Resilience Act as a 2027 problem because that is when the main obligations bite. The reporting duties do not wait: from 11 September 2026 you need a working intake channel, a triage process, named owners and a rehearsed 24-hour path to the ENISA reporting platform. A clock you cannot meet is worse than one you have not read.

Benefits

Why teams choose us.

No Accreditation Needed

Default-category products self-assess. There is no notified body to satisfy and no certificate to buy, which means the entire obligation is engineering work — and engineering is what we do.

No Personal Data In Scope

SBOMs, vulnerability processes and CI gates touch no personal data, so this engagement carries none of the EU transfer machinery that constrains our other services here.

Legacy Products Included

The reporting duty covers products already shipped, not just new releases. We inventory what is in the field and what you can actually patch.

A Rehearsed Clock

We do not hand you a policy document. We run the 24-hour path end to end with your team before you need it.

What we offer

The full menu.

SBOM In The Pipeline

  • Generated automatically on every build
  • CycloneDX or SPDX, machine-readable
  • Retained and versioned per release
  • Covers direct and transitive dependencies

Vulnerability Handling Process

  • Documented intake, triage and severity model
  • Named owners and escalation path
  • Remediation and disclosure timelines
  • Evidence trail for each handled report

Coordinated Disclosure

  • Public policy and security.txt
  • Monitored intake channel
  • Researcher acknowledgement process
  • Advisory template and publication path

The Reporting Runbook

  • 24h / 72h / 14-day sequence with owners
  • ENISA Single Reporting Platform path
  • Decision criteria for 'actively exploited'
  • Rehearsed once with your team before sign-off

Update Delivery & Support Period

  • Security update mechanism reviewed
  • Support-period position documented
  • Patch pipeline for products in the field
  • CI/CD security gates and dependency policy
How it works

Our process.

01

Product Inventory

Every product with digital elements sold into the EU, including what is already in the field, with its dependency surface and current patch route.

02

Build The Artefacts

SBOM generation in CI, vulnerability handling process, coordinated disclosure policy, security update mechanism. Real artefacts, wired into your pipeline.

03

Wire The Clock

Owners named, criteria written, escalation path agreed, ENISA submission route confirmed. Then we run it once, as a drill.

04

Hand Over

You own the runbook and the pipeline. We document what remains for the December 2027 main obligations so it is a plan, not a surprise.

Right fit?

Choose this if...

You ship a product with digital elements into the EU market
Your product is default-category, so you self-assess rather than needing a notified body
You have products already in the field that you would need to report on
An EU customer has begun asking supply-chain security questions under NIS2
Right fit?

Honest about who this is for.

Pick us if

This will be a fit.

  • You are an English-speaking product company — Ireland, the Nordics, or selling into the EU from elsewhere
  • You want SBOMs and a working process, not a compliance PDF
  • You would rather drill the 24-hour path than discover it during an incident
  • You accept that the main CRA obligations land in December 2027 and this is the reporting layer
Skip us if

Honestly — not our zone.

  • Your product is in an important or critical category needing a notified body — that is a conformity assessment and we do not perform them
  • You want a CRA certificate or a declaration of conformity signed by us. The declaration is yours to sign; we build the evidence behind it
  • You want us to operate the reporting clock for you. We build and drill it; you own it, because the legal duty is the manufacturer's
  • You need the work delivered in German, French, Italian, Dutch or Spanish. We deliver in English only
FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

What exactly starts on 11 September 2026?

The Article 14 reporting obligations: a 24-hour early warning, a 72-hour notification and a 14-day final report for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents, submitted via the ENISA Single Reporting Platform. It applies to all manufacturers of products with digital elements placed on the EU market, including legacy products already in the field. The main CRA obligations follow on 11 December 2027.

Do we need a notified body?

Not for default-category products, which self-assess — that is most software. Important and critical categories do require third-party conformity assessment, and we do not perform those and will tell you if we think you are in one.

Why is this the EU service you recommend?

Because it is the only EU obligation that maps cleanly onto engineering we can deliver without a transfer problem. SBOMs, vulnerability processes and CI gates touch no personal data, so none of the SCC and Transfer Impact Assessment machinery applies. Our other EU engagements carry a real per-deal legal cost; this one does not.

Is this EU AI Act readiness?

No, and we would not sell you that right now. The Digital Omnibus, in force 27 July 2026, deferred the Annex III high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 and Annex I to 2 August 2028. Anyone selling you an AI Act programme against an August 2026 deadline is working from stale material.

We already have SBOMs. Is there anything left?

Usually a lot. An SBOM on a shelf is not a vulnerability handling process, and neither is a reporting duty. The parts most teams are missing are the monitored intake channel, the written criteria for what counts as actively exploited, the named owners, and a rehearsed path to submission inside 24 hours.

Does this help with NIS2 too?

Indirectly and usefully. NIS2 Article 21(2)(d) pushes supply-chain security obligations down to suppliers, so EU customers increasingly demand exactly these artefacts contractually. The CRA work is what you show them.
