We develop a CRA-compliant update management system with you that systematically implements the requirements of Art. 10 and Annex I.
Our Approach:
Phase 1: CRA Gap Analysis - Assessment of existing update processes against Art. 10, Annex I Part II and Annex II documentation requirements
Phase 2: Update Strategy - Definition of support period (min. 5 years), update architecture design and rollback mechanisms
Phase 3: Implementation - Secure update distribution with cryptographic signing, automatic updates as default, separation of security and feature updates
Phase 4: Vulnerability Handling - Integration of CVE monitoring, SBOM reconciliation and 24h reporting process to ENISA for actively exploited vulnerabilities
Phase 5: Documentation and Conformity - Technical documentation per Annex II and VII, preparation for conformity assessment
