Cyber Resilience Act Compliance Requirements Checklist

This document is a requirements checklist for compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). It outlines the necessary steps for organizations to ensure their products meet the CRA's security standards. The CRA emphasizes the importance of building security into the design of products from the outset. Key actions include creating an inventory of products with digital components, determining the company's role in the supply chain, and mapping product dependencies. The document details the need for ongoing risk management, including defining security objectives, adopting secure coding practices, and maintaining a documented vulnerability disclosure process. It also emphasizes the importance of incident response readiness and lifecycle security management. Organizations are advised to appoint a CRA compliance lead, align internal policies with CRA requirements, and conduct periodic audits. The checklist serves as a guide to help companies prepare for the CRA's implementation phase, which begins in 2025, ensuring that they are ready to meet the evolving security landscape.
