EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Security Evaluation
Reimagine compliance as a strategic advantage for your products — and confidently go-to-market in Europe.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for all digital products sold in Europe. Whether you're developing hardware, firmware, or software, compliance is essential to market access and customer trust.
Keysight helps you achieve CRA compliance efficiently — minimizing risk and streamlining certification, so that you can keep bringing secure, innovative products to market.
Industry-Recognized Security Evaluation and Advisory Services
We guide you through every stage of CRA product security evaluation, documentation, and compliance. With tailored support, we work with your team to streamline approvals and manage the complete security lifecycle of your product.
Product Classification and Risk Assessment
Determine your product’s category (Default, Class I, Class II) and define the relevant threat and risk profile (TARA).
Compliance Assessment and Documentation
Review your current development practices against CRA requirements and receive a prioritized remediation plan. Get expert support in preparing technical documentation for CRA submission.
Security Testing and Product Hardening
Validate product resilience through security testing, including penetration testing, fuzzing, and vulnerability analysis. Strengthen product security with targeted hardening strategies.
Certification Strategy
Gain clarity on security certification requirements for your product. Align CRA activities with other standards like SESIP, IEC 62443, and RED to streamline certification efforts and reduce duplication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Products with Digital Elements (PDEs), including software, firmware, cloud systems, and SDKs.
Yes, if they’re likely to be used in a connected context. For example, USB sticks are not connected out of the box but contain firmware and are meant to be connected. Similarly, smart TVs contain embedded firmware and network capability.
Yes. Standalone software is explicitly covered, even if it’s not pre-installed on hardware.
- In force: 12 Nov 2024
- Vulnerability and incident reporting begins: 12 Nov 2025
- Full compliance applies: 11 Dec 2027
Yes, if still being sold or updated after 11 Dec 2027.
The CRA impacts a broad range of stakeholders involved in the design, development, and distribution of products with digital elements: manufacturers, authorized representatives, importers, distributors, software developers, and startups.
Risk assessments, implementing secure-by-design, vulnerability handling, conformity assessments, technical documentation, and updates.
Partially—they help, but don’t automatically fulfill all CRA obligations.
A Notified Body, an independent third-party organization designated by an EU Member State, provides an independent evaluation for Important II and Critical products. Notified Bodies must be accredited and listed in the NANDO (New Approach Notified and Designated Organizations) database.
Manufacturers of lower-risk products (Default or Important Class I) usually don’t need a Notified Body unless they opt for third-party assessment.
You risk fines, product bans, reputational harm, and can’t apply the CE mark. Fines and enforcement actions may vary depending on the severity of the breach.
Compliance is required for CE marking of digital products in the EU.
Yes—they must appoint an authorized representative established in the EU and fully meet CRA requirements before market placement.
Start by classifying your product (Default, Important, or Critical), as this defines whether you need a self-assessment or a Notified Body. Conduct a gap analysis to check your current security and compliance against CRA requirements, including secure design, risk management, and documentation. Then, build a roadmap with clear responsibilities and timelines. Use readiness tools like SBOM generators, risk templates, SDL checklists, and training resources. Keysight supports you every step of the way, from product scoping to CE marking, helping you stay compliant without slowing innovation or time-to-market.
