This white paper translates the EU Cyber Resilience Act into a practical compliance guide for manufacturers of connected and embedded devices, including IoT, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. It explains that CRA compliance is a continuous lifecycle obligation, not a one-time certification, requiring secure-by-design development, SBOM creation, vulnerability management, secure updates, and audit-ready documentation. The paper clarifies deadlines, penalties, and Annex I requirements, and walks through what compliance demands in practice—from identity, encryption, and attack-surface reduction to OTA update enforcement. Industry use cases illustrate CRA impact on industrial and consumer devices, while the guide maps specific technical controls to regulatory requirements.
