CRA Monitoring

Stay ahead of CRA vulnerability and incident obligations

The Cyber Resilience Act introduces new cybersecurity responsibilities for product companies, manufacturers of connected products, embedded systems, software and other products with digital elements.

Svep helps you monitor relevant cybersecurity risks, understand product impact and act when vulnerabilities or incidents need attention.

Cybersecurity - a product responsibility

CRA is not only about compliance. It is about being able to act quickly when something happens.

Product companies need to keep track of vulnerabilities, incidents, third-party components, security updates, customer communication and, when required, reporting obligations.

The challenge is knowing what actually affects your product — and what to do next.

CRA monitoring

CRA monitoring as a service

Svep offers a structured monitoring service based on your product portfolio, technology stack and cybersecurity responsibilities.

We monitor relevant cybersecurity signals, assess them in relation to your products and help you take the next step.

When action is needed, we can notify your team by email or phone, support customer communication and help prepare documentation or reporting.

Why Svep?

CRA is deeply technical.

Svep combines cybersecurity expertise with hands-on experience in embedded systems, IoT, electronics, cloud, apps and connected product development.

We understand how cybersecurity risks move through real products — from hardware and firmware to software, cloud services and third-party components.

That makes Svep a strong partner for practical, product-focused CRA monitoring.

Who is CRA monitoring for?

CRA monitoring is relevant for companies that develop, manufacture, import, maintain and sell products with digital elements, including:

  • Connected devices and IoT products
  • Industrial electronics
  • Embedded systems
  • Software and firmware products
  • Cloud-connected products
  • Products using open-source or third-party components
  • Products with long support periods or complex supply chains
Connected products.
Be prepared.

Prepare before the deadlines

The main CRA obligations apply from December 2027, while reporting obligations for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents apply earlier, from September 2026.

Companies that prepare their monitoring, escalation and documentation processes now will be in a stronger position when the requirements start to apply.
