CRA White Paper
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Compliance White Paper
Industrial Cybersecurity Readiness for Industrial IoT Devices
1. Executive Summary
As cybersecurity regulations continue to evolve in the European Union, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) establishes mandatory requirements for products with digital elements.
ICP DAS is committed to aligning with CRA requirements by strengthening product security, secure development processes, and vulnerability management.
To support this commitment, we have initiated certification programs including:
- ISO/IEC 27001(Information Security Management System)
- IEC 62443-4-1(Secure Product Development Lifecycle)
Target certification timeline: Completion by end of 2026
This white paper outlines our approach to achieving CRA readiness and ensuring long-term cybersecurity compliance for our partners and customers.
2. What is the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)?
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is an EU regulation that:
- Applies to products with digital elements (PDE)
- Enforces cybersecurity-by-design
