EU product-security reporting clock starts today

Manufacturers placing connected hardware or software on the EU market must now notify actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe product-security incidents through ENISA’s reporting platform.

Executive consequence

Article 14 reporting under the EU Cyber Resilience Act applies from today. Covered manufacturers need a defensible process for recognising a reportable indication, submitting the 24-hour warning, enriching it within 72 hours and coordinating subsequent reports without compromising investigation or3.

Decision today

Name the accountable CRA reporting executive and two deputies.
