The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) shifts liability for unpatched exploitable vulnerabilities directly to manufacturers. Organizations that cannot demonstrate conformity risk steep financial penalties and bans from selling in the EU.

Meet vulnerability disclosure windows
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.
Eliminate compliance oversights in your code
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.
Prevent regulatory drift
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.
Uphold secure-by-design mandates
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.
Detect unknown risks in your applications
Identify unknown vulnerabilities in protocols and APIs through rigorous fault injection, validating product robustness, stability, and resilience.
“With Coverity SAST and Black Duck SCA solutions, we were able to achieve our safety and quality standard certifications.”
“We’re now able to ensure that none of our products are released with open source license risks or security issues.”
Increased trust and transparency
Establishing clear communication around AppSec testing practices and vulnerability management improves trust and builds transparency with your customers.
Improve risk management
Strong CRA conformity initiatives help you identify and address vulnerabilities and defects in your applications and maintain access to European markets.
Gain competitive differentiation
Adopting practices in line with CRA requirements improves overall security posture, which is becoming an increasingly important buying criteria for your customers.
