CRA Compliance Gaps. Most engineering teams are making the same costly mistakes.
“Plenty of time, we have until 2027”
No you don’t; your development processes need to change now. If your product cycle takes 18 months, anything starting development today must already meet CRA requirements. The preparation window has already closed.
“No, no, this is an IT security problem”
It’s not; 60% of CRA requirements are about proving your processes, not implementing security features. Can you trace security requirement SEC-042 from initial specification through design, code, and testing, with timestamps, approvals, and decisions documented? So this is a traceability challenge, not a security challenge.
“But we’re already ISO 21434/IEC 62304 compliant”
Okay, that covers 60-70% at best. But what about the missing 30-40%? These are critical traceability gaps that your current tool landscape can’t bridge.
