Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Services by MDS Finland

At MDS Finland, we provide expert support for companies navigating the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its impact on medical devices, software, and connected products. Our services help ensure that your products meet the new EU cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements), from development through to market access.

The Cyber Resilience Act (EU 2024/2847) ) introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for software and connected devices sold in the EU. These requirements apply across the entire product lifecycle, including design, development, maintenance, and vulnerability management .

Our Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Services Include

CRA Readiness Assessment

We evaluate your product, software, and development processes against CRA cybersecurity requirements. This includes identifying gaps in security design, documentation, and lifecycle management.

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and Threat Analysis

We support cyber risk assessments required under the CRA, ensuring that your product is designed to minimize vulnerabilities and attack surfaces before market entry.

Secure Software and System Development

We help implement secure-by-design and secure-by-default principles, ensuring cybersecurity is integrated into your product development lifecycle in line with CRA expectations.

Vulnerability Management and Reporting Processes

We design and implement processes for vulnerability handling, monitoring, and reporting, including compliance with mandatory reporting timelines for exploited vulnerabilities and incidents.

Technical Documentation and Compliance Support

We prepare and structure the required technical documentation, including cybersecurity documentation needed for CE marking under the CRA.

Lifecycle Management and Security Updates

We support the implementation of processes to ensure ongoing security maintenance, updates, and support periods, as required by the regulation.

Integration with Existing Regulatory Frameworks

For medical device companies, we align CRA compliance with MDR, IVDR, and IEC 62304, ensuring a unified regulatory strategy.

Strategic Value of CRA Compliance

Market Access in the EU

Compliance with the CRA will be a requirement for placing products with digital elements on the EU market. Non-compliant products cannot be sold after full enforcement in 2027.

Security Across the Entire Product Lifecycle

The CRA requires manufacturers to ensure cybersecurity from development through the full product lifecycle, including post-market activities.

Reduced Cybersecurity Risk

Implementing CRA requirements improves product security, reduces vulnerabilities, and strengthens trust with customers and stakeholders.

Improved Transparency and Trust

The regulation increases transparency around product security, making it easier for users and regulators to assess cybersecurity levels.

Alignment with Future Regulations

CRA compliance supports alignment with broader EU cybersecurity frameworks and standards, including NIS2 and other emerging requirements.
