Determining the requirements applicable to each digital product is an essential step in achieving compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act. Hoctave is expanding its CRA Manager platform with a structured regulatory assessment capability directly connected to the operational management of product compliance.
Assess applicable requirements before managing compliance
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires manufacturers of products with digital elements to address cybersecurity requirements throughout their products’ life cycles.
Preparation begins with a product-specific regulatory analysis. This involves determining its scope, identifying the applicable requirements and formally documenting the evidence supporting the conclusions reached.
This process is the starting point for compliance work. It gives teams a structured view of their obligations before they begin implementing the necessary actions.
A new regulatory assessment capability integrated into CRA Manager
Hoctave is expanding its platform with a capability dedicated to the regulatory assessment of digital products. Teams can now structure their analysis, document their conclusions and identify the gaps to be addressed against Cyber Resilience Act requirements. This assessment makes it possible to formalise a regulatory position for each product and retain the information supporting the decisions made. It provides a shared framework for Product, Engineering, Cybersecurity and Compliance teams while making it easier to monitor ongoing work.
From regulatory analysis to operational control
The value of this development lies in its integration with Hoctave’s management environment. Regulatory assessment connects with the management of risks, vulnerabilities, software components, corrective actions, evidence and technical documentation. Teams can therefore link identified obligations to the operational elements used to address them and demonstrate that they have been taken into account.
This continuity also makes it easier to monitor product changes and update its regulatory analysis throughout its life cycle. With this new capability, Hoctave strengthens a product-centred approach to compliance, from identifying regulatory requirements through to monitoring the associated actions and evidence.
Prepare for CRA compliance over time
The Cyber Resilience Act will apply in full from 11 December 2027. For the manufacturers concerned, this deadline means structuring their compliance approach today. With its CRA Manager software, Hoctave brings regulatory assessment and operational management together in a single platform. An approach designed to facilitate team coordination, decision traceability and preparation for conformity assessments.
