How European Cybersecurity Laws affect your digital product

The European market offers huge opportunities for software and connected devices—but new rules are coming that will affect all products sold to EU customers. The Cyber Resilience Act, which will fully apply in 2027, will require manufacturers, importers, and distributors to plan cybersecurity from the very start, build secure products, and manage vulnerabilities throughout the product lifecycle.

Even though the Act is not yet in force, companies should start preparing now. Product development and update cycles can be lengthy, and aligning design, risk management, and documentation with CRA requirements early helps avoid last-minute compliance challenges. This will also ensure smoother market entry, reduce the risk of costly redesigns, and give your company a head start with European customers before the regulation takes effect.
