From legal text to product controls
Cyber Resilience Act regulation
The Cyber Resilience Act regulation sets cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold in the EU. For software teams, the regulation becomes a repeatable operating model: classify the product, document secure development, maintain SBOM evidence, monitor vulnerabilities, and prepare conformity documentation.
What to do with this information
- Scope: software, firmware, connected hardware, and digital components may be covered when placed on the EU market.
- Risk category: many products fall into a default category, while important and critical products require closer assessment and sometimes third-party involvement.
- Evidence: SBOM, vulnerability handling, secure update policies, technical documentation, and declaration records need to be versioned.
- Operations: vulnerability reporting and corrective actions must be tracked with time windows, accountable owners, and proof of follow-through.
