Frequently Asked Questions about CRA Data Breach Management
What is a CRA security incident and when must I report to ENISA?
A CRA security incident under Article
14 is the active exploitation of a vulnerability in a product with digital elements. Manufacturers must report such incidents to the designated CSIRT and simultaneously to ENISA within
24 hours of becoming aware. This differs from GDPR data breaches, which must be reported to the data protection authority within
72 hours.
What are the three CRA reporting deadlines under Article 14?
The CRA establishes three reporting stages: 1) Early warning within
24 hours with initial information about the affected product and vulnerability, 2) Follow-up notification within
72 hours with technical details and impact analysis, 3) Final report within
14 days after a corrective measure becomes available. For severe security incidents the final report deadline extends to one month.
When do the CRA security incident reporting obligations take effect?
The reporting obligations under CRA Article
14 take effect on
11 September 2026. From that date all manufacturers of products with digital elements must report actively exploited vulnerabilities through the ENISA Single Reporting Platform (SRP). Full CRA compliance is required from
11 December 2027.
What is the difference between CRA vulnerability reporting and GDPR data breach notification?
CRA reporting (Art. 14) concerns actively exploited vulnerabilities in products and is directed at CSIRT/ENISA with a 24-hour deadline. GDPR breach notification (Art. 33) concerns violations of personal data and is directed at the data protection authority with a 72-hour deadline. Both obligations can apply simultaneously to the same incident.
What is the ENISA Single Reporting Platform (SRP) for CRA notifications?
The ENISA Single Reporting Platform (SRP) is the central EU-wide reporting point for CRA security incidents. From September
2026 manufacturers report actively exploited vulnerabilities via the SRP simultaneously to their national CSIRT and to ENISA. The platform simplifies reporting through a single form and avoids duplicate notifications.
What penalties apply for non-compliance with CRA reporting obligations?
Violations of CRA reporting obligations can result in fines of up to EUR
15 million or 2.5 percent of global annual turnover. Exception: open-source developers and micro-enterprises are exempt from the 24-hour reporting obligation, though the 72-hour obligation remains in place.
How does ADVISORI support CRA incident reporting and response?
ADVISORI helps manufacturers establish CRA-compliant reporting processes: setting up CSIRT connectivity and ENISA SRP access, developing incident response plans with 24h/72h/14d escalation stages, training incident response teams, integrating automated vulnerability detection and establishing required documentation and evidence preservation processes.
