It’s not enough to be secure anymore.
With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), companies must prove that they remain secure over time.
This introduces a paradigm shift: cybersecurity is no longer just prevention, but continuous, traceable vulnerability management across the entire lifecycle of digital products.
Why the CRA raises the bar
The regulation requires organizations to:
- actively manage vulnerabilities
- implement structured reporting and remediation processes
- ensure traceability of all activities
- communicate transparently
In other words, it’s no longer enough to act when needed:
you must be able to demonstrate that you have a system in place.
The key issue: no process, no compliance
Many companies still handle vulnerabilities in an unstructured way:
- reports arriving via email or informal channels
- lack of tracking
- unclear response times
In the context of the CRA, this approach becomes a real risk—operational, regulatory, and reputational.
The answer: structuring vulnerability disclosure
To meet these requirements, adopting a structured approach to vulnerability management becomes essential.
Frameworks such as Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDP) and Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) help to:
- centralize the collection and management of reports
- coordinate communication with researchers
- track the entire process end-to-end
They are key elements to move from a reactive approach to a continuous and compliant one.
