At QualiVision, cybersecurity is a fundamental part of how we design, develop, and support our solutions. As the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) comes into effect, we are proactively preparing our processes, technical documentation, and security practices to align with the new regulatory expectations.
Our approach to CRA readiness
For us, CRA readiness goes beyond implementing individual requirements. It is about embedding cybersecurity into the entire product lifecycle from the very beginning. This includes system architecture, software development, the use of third-party components, operational processes, and the way vulnerabilities and updates are managed over time.
Our focus is on integrating CRA-related requirements early and systematically into both development and day-to-day operations.
Key areas include:
- secure default configurations with clear options to restore systems to a secure baseline
- security updates to remediate vulnerabilities, supported by transparent communication on available updates
- access control through authentication, authorisation, and structured identity and access management
- attack surface reduction by limiting exposed interfaces and unnecessary entry points
- continuous risk assessment across the full product lifecycle
Continuous monitoring and vulnerability management
We see CRA compliance as an ongoing commitment rather than a one-time milestone. For that reason, we are continuously strengthening our approach to monitoring product-related security information and integrating it into our vulnerability management processes.
Transparency and traceability
Structured documentation is another essential part of our preparation. This includes, among other things:
- product descriptions and intended purpose
- security-relevant software versions
- threat models and risk assessments
- security concepts and technical protection measures
- system architecture and implementation information
- a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for relevant dependencies
- test reports and security assessments
- processes for vulnerability management, support, and lifecycle management
This provides the foundation for greater transparency, clear traceability, and a reliable demonstration of our security-related activities.
Looking ahead
We view the CRA as an opportunity to further strengthen security, quality, and reliability across our solutions. QualiVision is actively translating regulatory requirements into practical and sustainable processes, with the goal of continuing to deliver solutions that are secure, transparent, and built for the future.
For us, getting ready for CRA means taking responsibility, working systematically, and continuously advancing cybersecurity.
