CRA Vulnerability Reporting Readiness Checklist

This document is a checklist designed to assist organizations in evaluating their readiness for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) vulnerability reporting requirements. It outlines the necessary steps for operational preparedness, including product scope identification, software visibility, vulnerability monitoring, internal reporting workflows, coordinated vulnerability disclosure, supply chain management, user notification, and ENISA platform registration. Each section provides specific actions to ensure compliance with the CRA, such as creating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for products, establishing a designated PSIRT lead for internal reporting, and ensuring clear communication channels for user notifications. The checklist emphasizes the importance of proactive measures, including conducting tabletop exercises to simulate reporting cycles and preparing registration data for ENISA. By following this checklist, organizations can identify gaps in their current processes and align their practices with the upcoming regulatory milestones set by the CRA.
