EU CRA Engineering Assessment

CRA Readiness Assessment: 5 Questions for Engineering Leaders.

CRA creates the first product-level cybersecurity liability most organizations have ever faced. These are five questions to help you unearth specifics that the regulations encompass, and that your team needs to be able to answer.

Where Does Your Team Stand?

• Answered confidently across all five: Stronger than most. Focus on closing remaining gaps, testing your reporting pipeline end-to-end before regulation due dates, and confirming SBOM coverage is current across all in-scope products.

• Struggled with two or three: Critical gaps remain, likely in transitive dependency coverage, remediationplans, or ownership clarity. Regulatory standing is at risk without action in the next 60 days.

• Couldn't answer most of them: Gaps are structural. Building the required infrastructure from scratch whilemaintaining roadmap velocity is unlikely to be possible within the next three months.
