Hack the CRA: self-certify on a budget step by step
July 14, 2026

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA, formally Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) introduces binding cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold in the EU, with fines reaching EUR 15 million or 2.5% of global turnover for non-compliance. Manufacturers must prepare for vulnerability reporting obligations beginning on September 11, 2026, and broader conformity assessment and CE-marking requirements by December 11, 2027.

Hack the CRA does not mean bypassing the rules—it means understanding them well enough to avoid unnecessary cost and effort. The good news is that roughly 90% of products can follow the self-assessment route (Module A), avoiding costly third-party certification. However, self-certification still requires meeting applicable Annex I cybersecurity requirements, building Annex VII technical documentation, and signing a legally binding Declaration of Conformity. The challenge is focusing on what matters most: risk assessment, security testing, vulnerability remediation, and technical documentation.
