Standards will play a central role in how companies demonstrate compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act, especially for cybersecurity products and services used across the single market. For many SMEs, these future product standards will be the most practical way to meet regulatory requirements in a clear, cost‑effective manner.
This survey aims to collect insights from cybersecurity professionals and SME stakeholders on how standards can best support real‑world compliance needs under the Cyber Resilience Act. The responses will help the European Commission design guidance, tools and other supporting materials so that SMEs can efficiently understand, select and apply the product standards that will be developed.
By sharing your experience and expectations, you will contribute directly to making CRA‑related standards more usable, proportionate and SME‑friendly across Europe.
