Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Assessment Framework

Navigate EU’s CRA Requirements with the CRA Assessment Framework from eInfochips

Why CRA Compliance Matters

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a legislative proposal introduced by the European Commission, aimed at strengthening cybersecurity across the EU by setting common standards for products with digital elements. It addresses vulnerabilities in hardware, software, and online services to ensure that these products are secure throughout their lifecycle.

CRA applies to both services and products that include digital elements. It is applicable to connected products, software, networking, mobile app, wherever the data flows, wired or wireless. Manufacturer, importers and distributors are also required to comply with CRA.

Additionally, there are penalties for non-compliance, including fines of up to €15 million or 2.5% of annual turnover, whichever is higher.

Our Offerings

eInfochips has developed a comprehensive CRA Assessment Framework that offers a structured approach to compliance. The framework is aligned to CRA Annexures. The framework begins with an Applicability Assessment, followed by Risk-based Product Classification, Requirement mapping, Documentation, Conformity Assessment and concludes with a detailed Gap Analysis and recommendation report.

Determining CRA Applicability

The applicability of CRA is determined by evaluating factors such as EU market presence, data connectivity, and potential overlap with existing regulations. Where equivalent protections are already established under other EU laws, applicable exemptions are identified early in the process.

Risk-based Product Classification

The products are classified as Default category, Important category – Class I / Class II products or Critical category, based on the associated cybersecurity risk level, which helps define the appropriate compliance pathway.

Requirements

A product is assessed against Security requirements such as security by design, no known vulnerabilities, secure default configuration, security updates, access control, confidentiality protection, etc. The product is also assessed for vulnerability handling such as identifying components and vulnerabilities and addressing them, regular testing, coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy, secure distribution of updates etc.

Documentation

A comprehensive technical documentation assessment is done to check general documentation, documentation of processes, cybersecurity risks and the other tests performed. User documentation is also checked to see if documentation of the manufacturer, documentation of intended purpose and user guidance, are all included.

Gap Analysis Report

The outcome of eInfochips CRA Assessment is a detailed Gap Analysis Report that outlines key observations related to a product’s compliance status. The report provides actionable recommendations to meet CRA requirements and includes a clearly defined implementation roadmap. Additionally, eInfochips team can support the execution of these recommendations, assisting with end-to-end compliance implementation.
