6 Steps to CRA Readiness

Preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act requires more than identifying vulnerabilities. Product manufacturers need accurate software visibility, risk-based prioritization, secure update processes, aligned suppliers, and clear internal ownership. This 45-second video outlines six practical steps your organization can take to move toward CRA readiness.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is reshaping how connected and embedded products must be secured, maintained, and supported. Is your organization ready?

Watch this short video to learn six practical steps that can help product manufacturers prepare:

Test your vulnerability reporting process before a real incident occurs.
Build an accurate, build-time software bill of materials (SBOM).
Evaluate whether vulnerabilities are reachable, exploitable, and operationally significant.
Ship products securely by default and support secure updates throughout their lifecycle.
Align suppliers on SBOM, notification, patching, and support requirements.
Establish clear responsibilities across engineering, security, procurement, legal, and product teams.

CRA readiness ultimately comes down to four questions:

What is in the product?
Is it affected?
What will reduce the risk?
Who is responsible for taking action?

RunSafe Security helps product teams gain the software visibility and risk intelligence needed to answer these questions—so they can prioritize meaningful risks and strengthen product security across the entire lifecycle.
