The EU Cyber Resilience Act has a deadline your competitors are ignoring. Are you prepared for September 2026?
Most organizations are treating CRA compliance as a software problem. It's not. It's a governance crisis—and the companies that solve it first will turn regulatory burden into competitive advantage.
The Real CRA Challenge Isn't Technical—It's Human
Your legal team is drafting policies. Your engineers are searching for compliance tools. Your product managers are stuck in the middle, unable to move forward. And your executives see nothing but risk and expense.
This is the Governance Gap—and it's the #1 reason organizations fail regulatory audits.
The CRA doesn't just require technical controls. It demands clear ownership, cross-functional accountability, and unified decision-making. No amount of software can fix a broken governance structure.
Siloed Teams
Unclear Accountability
September 2026 Deadline
Legal, Engineering, and Product speaking different languages with no shared framework
When everyone is responsible, no one is responsible—creating compliance blind spots
Enforcement begins in 6 months. Penalties up to €15M or 2.5% of global revenue
