The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will introduce mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. For many SMEs, the challenge is not understanding that the CRA applies, but how to comply in practice, which standards to follow, and which tools, guidance, and funding opportunities are available to support compliance.
This workshop helps SMEs understand, prepare for, and comply with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), translating regulatory requirements into practical guidance and tools and providing information about the ongoing standardisation process and ways to engage in open consultations, a series of workshops is organised throughout Europe.
Following a Standardisation Request from the European Commission in support of the implementation of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) - ETSI and CEN-CENELEC - are actively developing harmonised standards in their relevant technical groups During the session, the rapporteurs of these standards in the ESOs technical groups will present some of the latest drafts under development and engage with the audience to discuss the ongoing work, answer questions, and gather feedback to refine the drafts.
Hosted at the Auditório da Sede Nacional da Ordem dos Engenheiros (OE), the event is organised by the EU-funded projects CYBERSTAND.eu and STAN4CRA.eu with the support of the Ordem dos Engenheiros, the workshops bring together key EU-funded experts and projects working on the design of SME-friendly standards and CRA compliance tools.
