Vulnerability reporting requirement begins
Harmonized standards are published
Full conformity is required
Analyze codebases against vulnerability datasets (e.g., EUVD, NVD) and generate immediate, evidence-grade Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) with detailed component risk data to support the mandated 24-hour early warning period and 72-hour official notification window.
Uncover and document declared, transitive, and unmanaged dependencies, as well as hidden risks buried within compiled third-party binaries, to support EU CRA conformity initiatives, regardless of where you sit in the software supply chain.
Ensure that high-velocity development pipelines don’t force your products out of compliance. Build policy gates into the SDLC that automate key activities such as performing scans, pull request commenting, and initiating issue management and fix workflows without disrupting release velocity.
Detect, document, and address code-level security defects as they are introduced—and before they are pushed to production, where they garner obligations for vulnerability handling.
Identify unknown vulnerabilities in protocols and APIs through rigorous fault injection, validating product robustness, stability, and resilience.
Establishing clear communication around AppSec testing practices and vulnerability management improves trust and builds transparency with your customers.
Strong CRA conformity initiatives help you identify and address vulnerabilities and defects in your applications and maintain access to European markets.
Adopting practices in line with CRA requirements improves overall security posture, which is becoming an increasingly important buying criteria for your customers.
