Cyber Resilience Act Compliance with ComplyScore®

The EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires manufacturers of products with digital elements to ensure cybersecurity throughout the supply chain. CRA mandates supplier due diligence, vulnerability handling processes, and coordinated disclosure proving systematic oversight of component and service provider relationships.

ComplyScore® automates supplier security assessments aligned to CRA requirements, maintains continuous monitoring of component vulnerabilities, and generates audit-ready documentation proving appropriate cybersecurity measures throughout the product lifecycle.

How ComplyScore® Accelerates CRA Compliance

FAQs

Does the Cyber Resilience Act require supplier or component risk assessments?

Yes. Article 13(5) requires manufacturers to exercise due diligence when integrating third-party components, including open-source components, so those components don't compromise the product's cybersecurity. This applies at market placement and continues throughout the support period.

What should you check before sourcing a component from a supplier?

Confirm the supplier can identify known vulnerabilities in what they provide, commit to security updates for as long as your product's support period requires, and cooperate under Article 13(6), which obligates you to report any flaw you find back to the component's own maker.

How do you get visibility into a supplier's vulnerability history before integrating its component?

Request the supplier's SBOM, known-vulnerability disclosures, and past patch turnaround times before you integrate anything. CRA due diligence under Article 13(5) is an ongoing obligation, so this evaluation should continue as continuous monitoring throughout the supplier relationship rather than a single intake check.

Should all component suppliers get the same level of CRA risk scrutiny?

No. Weight your scrutiny toward suppliers providing components for important or critical products under Annex III and IV, since those carry stricter conformity requirements. Suppliers of components in default-risk products can generally receive lighter, less frequent due diligence.
