In our latest Privacyespresso episode, we wrapped up our special series on Building a Unified Compliance Strategy with GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and CRA with an insightful discussion on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
We had the pleasure of hosting Luca Egitto, Partner at RPLT to break down what CRA entails and its significant impact on businesses operating in the EU digital market. With cyber threats on the rise, CRA introduces robust security requirements for digital products, both hardware and software, ensuring a minimum level of cybersecurity before they reach the market.
Key takeaways :
-Who is impacted? Manufacturers, distributors, and importers of digital products, whether based in the EU or selling into the EU market.
– Main obligations: Secure-by-design approach, vulnerability management, and mandatory reporting to ENISA within 24 hours of discovering a security flaw.
– Regulatory overlap? CRA differs from NIS2, as it focuses on products rather than essential services, yet shares principles like security-by-design with GDPR.
– Compliance timeline: CRA was enacted in December 2024 and will be fully enforceable by 2027, with significant financial penalties for non-compliance.
This regulation marks a new era of cybersecurity in the EU, ensuring that digital products are secure from the ground up.
For more insights on this topic, join us next week for our webinar where we’ll dive deeper into these regulations with PrivacyRules Alliance members.
