7 questions for assessing Cyber Resilience Act codebase readiness

Beginning 11 September 2026, manufacturers of in-scope products with digital elements sold in the EU must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents through the Single Reporting Platform to the designated CSIRT coordinator and ENISA, generally within 24 hours of becoming aware of an event. The Cyber Resilience Act defines active exploitation as reliable evidence of unauthorized malicious use of a vulnerability, while severe incidents include those that compromise or could compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality of important data or functions, or enable malicious code. To assess readiness, organizations are encouraged to evaluate secure-by-default settings, review of security-sensitive changes, release traceability, mandatory pre-merge checks, release-blocking controls, hostile-input testing, and runtime security verification, rating each control from absent to enforced and prioritizing gaps according to product risk. These practices support broader CRA requirements, including component inventories, vulnerability remediation, regular testing, and secure updates, ahead of wider obligations taking effect on 11 December 2027.
