How to Meet EU Cyber Resilience Act Requirements with StackHawk's Pre-Production Testing

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), effective from December 10, 2024, mandates cybersecurity for all products with digital elements sold in the EU, with compliance required by December 11, 2027. The CRA enforces cybersecurity throughout the product lifecycle, requiring no known exploitable vulnerabilities at market release, documented vulnerability handling, and regular security updates. Products are categorized into three classes, with varying assessment requirements, and pure SaaS offerings are typically excluded. StackHawk addresses CRA requirements by providing pre-production testing that detects vulnerabilities in runtime through CI/CD pipelines, ensuring products are secure by design. The platform discovers complete API attack surfaces, automates vulnerability management, and supports compliance documentation, integrating seamlessly into developer workflows. This comprehensive approach helps organizations maintain development velocity while meeting CRA’s security and documentation mandates, guaranteeing that security is built in from the start and continuously validated throughout the product lifecycle.
