9.11 CRA compliance deadline approaching, hitting the pain point of enterprises: how to continuously monitor vulnerabilities? How to meet the 24-hour reporting deadline? How to quickly complete the first batch of compliance preparations for CRA?

 

1、 What is CRA first?

 

 

1. What is CRA?

The full name of the EU CyberResilience Act (EU 2024/2847) is a mandatory product security regulation with legal effect. It is not just a simple technical testing, but also controls the product lifecycle security development process (SDLC) and full process vulnerability management.

 

Consequences of non-compliance:

❌   The product is prohibited from affixing the CE mark and will be directly removed from the EU market

❌   High penalty: 2.5% of global annual revenue or 15 million euros, whichever is higher.

 

When will CRA take effect?

CRA is the first mandatory regulation in the European Union to standardize the network security of networked software and hardware products. It will officially come into effect on December 10, 2024, with sufficient transition period. Among them, the obligation to report vulnerabilities and incidents will be enforced on September 11, 2026, and the entire regulation will be fully implemented on July 11, 2027.

 

 

2、 90% of companies fall into two common misconceptions about CRA, don't fall for them

 

 

Misconception 1: It will only be fully implemented by the end of 2022, so we can wait and see before taking action.

 

CRA is a dual compliance project that combines system and technology, with a complete construction period of at least 6 months, complex processes, and a large amount of documentation. Waiting until 2027 for temporary remedies will not only double compliance costs, but also delay the shipment of products to the European Union, and even face the risk of market bans. Early planning is the optimal solution.

 

Misconception 2: Products will be launched before September 11, 2026, and existing old products do not need to fulfill reporting obligations

 

Key misconceptions need to be corrected: early listing of existing products does not necessarily mean exemption from CRA compliance control. According to CRA regulations, September 11, 2026 is the unified compliance milestone. All digital products that continue to circulate, sell, and operate in the European Union, regardless of their listing years, are required to report vulnerabilities and security incidents, and there are no exemptions.

 

Emphasis should be placed on:

CRA is a regulation that involves both system and technology, and time is becoming increasingly urgent. Enterprises need to plan ahead and respond to CRA compliance issues in advance.

 

3、 9.11 Compliance is imminent, analysis and solutions for the four major pain points of enterprise implementation

 

Pain point 1: The reporting deadline is strict, and the 24-hour warning requirement is difficult to meet

 

Mandatory regulatory requirement: Safety incidents must be alerted within 24 hours, followed by full notification within 72 hours, and formal reports must be submitted in stages, with a very short time window.

 

Two implementation plans help enterprises break through:

✅  Option 1 (step-by-step plan, suitable for companies with insufficient manpower and time constraints): First, fulfill the obligations of 9/11, and then establish a complete vulnerability management system:

 

First, fulfill the reporting obligation: complete SBOM identification before 9/11, monitor product vulnerabilities in real-time, develop CVD policies, and quickly identify and report vulnerabilities and timelines. Synchronize and follow up on SRP reporting platform rules; Lixun can provide automated operation methods for easy response, increasing efficiency by 60%

 

Complete vulnerability system construction: gradually improve the complete vulnerability management system in the later stage, extend the preparation period, and reduce short-term manpower pressure. Lixun provides one-stop service, offering a complete document system and increasing efficiency by 50%

 

✅  Option 2 (One Step Solution): Synchronize the process of "building a complete vulnerability management system+EU reporting" to cover the entire process: that is, on the basis of the vulnerability management system, a standardized reporting process is built in, perfectly matching the 24-hour warning time limit, and meeting all long-term compliance requirements of CRA at once. Lixun can provide automated operation methods, one-stop services, and a complete document system, increasing efficiency by 60%

 

 

Pain point 2: Tight compliance cycle, no way to start, confused throughout the process

 

Many companies are unfamiliar with the complete process from system building, document organization to testing and verification when they first come into contact with CRA.

 

👉  Breaking through: Lixun provides one-stop compliance landing services, with experts following up throughout the process, sorting out enterprise product lines, and customizing exclusive compliance promotion schedules, without having to explore and step into pitfalls on your own.

 

Pain point 3: Massive compliance documents, lack of standard templates, making it difficult to write up to standards

 

There are numerous supporting system documents for CRA, and self written ones are prone to issues such as missing clauses and non-compliance with EU audit standards.

 

👉  Breaking through: Luxshare provides standardized document templates that can be used out of the box, saving the time and cost of writing from scratch and meeting the official review requirements of the European Union.

 

Pain point 4: Only making paper documents, unable to be truly implemented, and the review process is prone to collapse

 

Many companies have piled up a pile of compliance documents, but there is no internal execution process or verification method, which belongs to "paper compliance" and directly fails regulatory verification.

 

👉 Breaking through: Adopting a vulnerability practical exercise mode, simulating real network attack scenarios, verifying the authenticity and effectiveness of vulnerability handling and event reporting processes, and achieving dual standards of documentation and implementation.

 

For more details on the plan, please contact Lixun in a timely manner.
