Why is compliance hard to achieve?
The CRA and PSTI introduce never-seen-before requirements
Gone are the days of lax security – secure-by-design is now the law of the (development) land . Patching up vulnerabilities after the fact won't cut it anymore – proactive threat mitigation, vulnerability assessments, and secure updates become the norm. But with limited resources and entrenched development models, adapting to this paradigm shift will be no mean feat.
CRA and PSTI compliance must be continuously monitored
The European legislations grasp extend beyond initial compliance, demanding continuous monitoring throughout the device's lifespan. Newly discovered software vulnerabilities can render your once-compliant device or software into a potential threat. But ensuring this perpetual state of cybersecurity is daunting. Resources stretch thin, and hidden flaws can hide in the shadows.
Reaching compliance could be expensive
Internal resources, already stretched thin, may buckle under the burden of revamped processes, specialized expertise, and ongoing monitoring infrastructure. The CRA and PSTI are a feat made for security giants, not smaller innovator. Collaboration, innovative solutions, and regulatory support from i46 will be crucial to ensure CRA and PSTI compliance don't become a luxury.
This is about to change
Why i46?
i46.cz is a platform dedicated to helping IoT device manufacturers and distributors comply with the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This legislation mandates rigorous cybersecurity measures for all digital products sold in the EU, aiming to enhance security and protect consumers from cyber threats.
i46.cz offers several key services to facilitate compliance. Firstly, they conduct Initial and Full Assessments of IoT products. The Initial Assessment is a swift, one-day evaluation providing a roadmap for achieving compliance by examining the product’s security posture, architecture, and development processes. The Full Assessment is more comprehensive, involving a detailed analysis over two to four weeks to identify any vulnerabilities and necessary adjustments.
Following these assessments, i46.cz assists in the Certification process. This phase ensures that IoT devices meet CRA standards, providing essential documents like the EU Certificate of Conformity and technical documentation. The platform also includes EU Authorized Representation services, acting as a legal and technical representative for non-EU companies. This helps these companies meet CRA requirements and facilitates easier entry into the European market.
A crucial aspect of i46.cz’s offering is Continuous Monitoring. This service ensures that devices remain compliant throughout their lifecycle by conducting regular updates, annual reviews, and providing real-time alerts for potential security breaches.
Additionally, i46.cz offers tools for securing IoT devices. These include remote access protection, AI-based unauthorized use detection, and stress testing to simulate potential cyber-attacks.
