What it is

White paper presenting the CRACoWi platform: automated compliance assessments, AI-powered self-assessment tools, and lifecycle security management methodologies designed to support SMEs in achieving and maintaining compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act throughout the product lifecycle.

Why it matters

SMEs face significant challenges in meeting Cyber Resilience Act requirements due to limited resources and in-house cybersecurity expertise. CRACoWi's open tools provide automated CRA assessments and AI-guided self-evaluation, substantially reducing compliance costs and complexity. This enables smaller manufacturers to bring secure, regulation-compliant connected products to the EU market competitively — contributing directly to a more resilient European digital product ecosystem.
