Only 3 in 10 firms know Cyber Resilience Act obligations
The European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will impose new reporting obligations starting September 11, 2026. Manufacturers must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and serious security incidents within 24 hours, followed by additional details within 72 hours and a final report. However, a Bitkom survey of 1,003 German companies reveals that only 29% understand the CRA's implications for their business. While 67% have heard of the law, many lack detailed knowledge. The central reporting platform will only go live on the deadline, hindering preparation. Bitkom supports the CRA's security-by-design principles but emphasizes the need for practical implementation.

Key CRA deadlines: vulnerability reporting to ENISA becomes mandatory in September 2026 and full compliance is required by December 2027. Obligations include shipping products without known exploitable vulnerabilities, providing security updates for a minimum five-year supported lifetime, CE marking for covered products, 24-hour reporting of actively exploited vulnerabilities to ENISA, and fines up to €15 million or 2.5% of global turnover. The author warns that AI-assisted code (Copilot, Claude, Cursor examples) carries the same legal weight as handwritten code and recommends inventories, 24-hour reporting pipelines, AI-code audits, documented vulnerability-handling processes, and SLA updates.
