TDF position on EU’s proposed Cyber Resilience Act

THE DOCUMENT FOUNDATION Summary of Issues of the Cyber Resilience Act (in the current status) Introduction The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) sets out a number of cybersecurity and vulnerability management requirements for manufacturers (Annex I) and will require products to be accompanied by information and instructions for users (Annex II). Software vendors will also be required to conduct a risk assessment and produce technical documentation (Annex V) to demonstrate compliance.
