The Cyber Resilience Act is rewriting the rules for every connected device and piece of
software sold into Europe, from design to decommission.
AROBS European Cyber Resilience Act Compliance Services get you compliant without stalling your roadmap, enabling uninterrupted market access, reducing regulatory risks, and strengthening your digital products for lasting security and customer trust.
Most CRA compliance providers tell you what’s broken. AROBS is different: we pair deep cybersecurity expertise with software engineering capabilities to implement the necessary changes. We don’t just identify gaps; we resolve them in your codebase and delivery process so you can fulfil your mandatory cybersecurity requirements.
If you put digital products on the EU market, the right time to prepare for the Cyber Resilience Act was yesterday. September 11, 2026, is the deadline for compliance.
Get the CRA compliance wrong, and the exposure is real:
Regulatory investigations
Product restrictions or
withdrawal from the EU market
Reputational damage
Increased customer scrutiny
Financial penalties
Fines can reach €15 million or 2.5% of annual worldwide turnover, whichever hurts more, depending on the severity of the infringement

Clarity on exactly which CRA conformity obligations apply to you
practical compliance roadmap, not a theoretical one, for CRA compliance
Reduced regulatory and business risk
Stronger product security that holds up under scrutiny
One team across cybersecurity and engineering
One team across cybersecurity and engineering
Hardware, software, platforms, firmware, and connected devices are all in scope; they must meet the essential cybersecurity requirements for full compliance.
Software Manufacturers
Applications, platforms, firmware, embedded software, and commercial software products
Hardware Manufacturers
IoT devices, industrial equipment, routers, gateways, sensors, controllers, and connected systems.
System Integrators
Organisations that combine third-party software, hardware, or digital components into a final product.
Connected Product Developers
Smart home devices, wearables, and other connected products.
Distributors & Importers
Organisations placing products with digital elements on the European market.
Component Suppliers
Commercial software providers and suppliers of open-source components used in commercial products.
Security by Design: Build security in from the design phase to minimise the attack surface — not bolt it on later.
Vulnerability Management: Document on how you identify, report, and remediate vulnerabilities across the entire
product lifecycle.
Security Updates: Provide free security patches for at least 5 years or the declared product lifetime (the period during which
the manufacturer states the product is supported), whichever is shorter.
Documentation & Transparency: Produce a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM — a list of every component in your
software), technical documentation, an EU declaration of conformity, and mandatory CE marking.
Incident Reporting: Fulfill your statutory obligations with a structured three-step response: immediate 24h alerts, full 72h
impact notifications, and a final remediation report for total regulatory transparency.
Smart home devices, baby monitors, connected appliances, wearables, and routers.
A connected-device maker shipping smart home hubs, a baby monitor, and a Wi-Fi router into the EU faces the CRA across its
whole catalogue — and consumer IoT is exactly where regulators and the press look first.
Outcome:
a consumer line that stays on the European Union shelves, with a patch and disclosure process that holds up the day a
vulnerability goes public.
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), industrial sensors, robotics, and production-line machinery.
An automation vendor selling PLCs, industrial sensors, and robotics into European plants is squarely in scope — and here the cost of a compliance miss is measured in halted production lines, not just fines.
Outcome:
machinery that ensures CRA compliance and reassures industrial customers that their lines won’t be the next headline.
Smart meters and connected energy management systems.
A vendor of smart meters and connected energy management systems sits at the critical-infrastructure end of the CRA, where products are likely to be classified as “Important” or “Critical” and held to the strictest bar.
Outcome: energy infrastructure that meets the toughest tier of CRA scrutiny and keeps its place in regulated procurement.
Understand your obligations before you
You need clarity before you invest. This focused engagement shows
you exactly where you stand, what the compliance journey entails, and
which actions will provide immediate, measurable benefits for your
business.
• CRA applicability assessment
• Product classification support
• Current-state maturity review
• Product security gap analysis
• Risk identification
• Prioritised remediation roadmap
• Executive summary and recommendations
Build compliance into your products, not around them. Save time and resources by designing security from day one, resulting in fewer future risks and lower long-term compliance costs.
The CRA rewards security-by-design. We help engineering teams bake it in from architecture through deployment.
Gain visibility into every component that powers your product, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of security incidents from hidden vulnerabilities in your software supply chain.
Modern products run on third-party and open-source software. If you don’t know your dependencies, you can’t comply.
Make security part of every release to build product trust and speed up compliance approvals, so you can release with confidence and meet regulatory deadlines.
Compliance gets easy when security lives inside your workflow. We embed controls into the engineering you already do.
Be prepared before vulnerabilities become compliance risks and avoid reactive crisis management to safeguard your operations and brand reputation.
The CRA demands structured vulnerability handling. We build the operational muscle to deliver it.
Turn requirements into audit-ready evidence so you can demonstrate compliance efficiently in audits, save time, and reduce the burden on internal teams.
Most teams underestimate the documentation effort. We create and organise evidence that proves compliance.
See the engineering impact, remediation
priorities, and development changes
clearly.
Strengthen product security and build
compliance that sticks.
Protect EU market access without
blowing your delivery timelines.
Build governance, documentation, and
audit readiness.
Cut regulatory exposure and protect
growth in European markets.
Not sure where you stand? In one focused engagement, our experts evaluate:
If you develop, manufacture, distribute, import, or integrate products with digital elements placed on the EU market, the CRA likely applies — software, connected devices,
embedded systems, and many digital products included. A CRA assessment confirms applicability and obligations.
Most products with digital elements: software applications, firmware, IoT devices, industrial systems, connected products, and components built into commercial solutions. Some products already regulated under specific EU cybersecurity frameworks may be excluded or treated differently.
Technical documentation, risk assessments, security processes, vulnerability management procedures, SBOMs, conformity declarations, and other evidence demonstrating that security requirements were met throughout the product lifecycle.
For most organisations, yes — it becomes a cornerstone of compliance, giving visibility into components, dependencies, and open-source libraries and supporting vulnerability management, supply chain security, and regulatory transparency.
With a structured process covering identification, assessment, remediation, disclosure, and reporting, backed by clear procedures, responsibilities, monitoring, and communication channels across the lifecycle.
It depends on your security maturity, product complexity, and current practices. Some need only process and documentation improvements; others need bigger changes to architecture, SDLC, vulnerability management, and supply chain security.
Most teams strengthen the lifecycle with secure-by-design principles, threat modelling, secure coding, security testing, dependency management, vulnerability monitoring, and security-focused release processes.
Start with a CRA readiness assessment to understand applicability, find gaps, and prioritise. Early preparation lets you implement controls, establish processes, build documentation, and assemble evidence gradually, before the regulation fully applies.
