FOR MANUFACTURERS OF PRODUCTS WITH DIGITAL ELEMENTS
FuzzForge tests the product as you ship it, with or without the source code.
Your technical documentation gets the test report Annex VII asks for.
WHAT MAKES CRA SECURITY TESTING HARD
01
The regulation asks for effective and regular tests, without saying how.
→A method you can put in the file.
FuzzForge runs a campaign you can describe, date and repeat.
02
You ship components whose source you never had.
→Due diligence you can actually run.
FuzzForge fuzzes, emulates and reverses the component as your supplier delivered it.
03
Since 11 September 2026, exploited vulnerabilities must be reported.
→Finding what no list contains.
An SBOM lists published CVEs. FuzzForge goes after the flaws nobody has filed yet.
PROOF
THE CALENDAR
Three of the four dates are already behind you.
In force
The regulation entered into force. Nothing was asked of manufacturers yet.
Assessment bodies
Member States started designating the bodies that will assess conformity.
Reporting
Early warning within 24 hours, notification within 72, final report within 14 days of a fix. This one covers products already on the market.
Full application
Annex I requirements, conformity assessment, CE marking and a technical file for every product placed on the market.
SCOPE
Article 2 points to other regulations, not to industries. A product that falls outside the named act falls back under the CRA.
Yes
A product with digital elements placed on the EU market
A software or hardware component sold separately
A component placed on the market separately is a product in its own right
No
A medical device
Covered by Regulation 2017/745 or 2017/746
A complete motor vehicle
Covered by Regulation 2019/2144
An aviation product, certified under Regulation 2018/1139
Certification is what excludes it, not the sector
A product developed exclusively for defence or national security
The regulation says exclusively
Dual-use products and uncertified components stay inside the scope. Two words in Article 2 carry the whole thing: certified, and exclusively.
WHY FUZZFORGE
Cyber Resilience Act security testing leaves you three usual options: run the scanners on the code you wrote, inventory the components you bought in, or test the binary you ship. FuzzForge does the third. It rehosts the target and writes the harness itself. Your technical file gets a report your engineers can replay.
FAQ
No technique is mandated. Annex I asks you to apply effective and regular tests and reviews of the security of the product. Fuzzing, emulation and binary analysis are ways to produce that evidence, not obligations in themselves.
No. Recital 35 lists the ways to exercise due diligence on a third-party component: check the CE marking, check that it receives regular security updates, check that no vulnerability is published against it, or carry out additional security tests. On a binary delivered without source and without CE marking, the last one is the one still available to you.
Reporting. Since 11 September 2026, manufacturers must notify actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents, for every product already made available on the EU market. Full application, with CE marking and technical documentation, comes on 11 December 2027.
Not yet. The Commission ordered 41 harmonised standards in 2025 and they are still being delivered. A standard only grants presumption of conformity once its reference is published in the Official Journal. Until then, Annex VII asks you to describe the solutions you adopted to meet the requirements.
The regulation excludes products developed or modified exclusively for national security or defence purposes. A component sold to both a military programme and a civil customer does not meet that condition, and stays inside the CRA.
A real campaign, on a target close to yours. Findings your engineers can pick up and verify.
