Join us for the final stop of the CRA Standards Unlocked – EU Tour on 24 November at Sofia Tech Park. The workshop brings together experts and stakeholders to discuss the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the standards supporting its implementation, with practical guidance for small and medium-sized enterprises.
From CRA requirements to practical compliance
The CRA will introduce mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. For many SMEs, the challenge is how to comply in practice: which standards to follow and which tools, guidance and funding opportunities can support the process.
Why join?
- Understand what the CRA requires and what it means for SMEs.
- Learn which standards matter and how they support compliance.
- Hear from CRA standards rapporteurs about ongoing standardisation work.
- Discover compliance tools, practical guides and funding opportunities through CRA-related EU-funded projects, with contributions from European Commission representatives, ETSI, CEN/CENELEC and ENISA.
- Gain practical insights into how CRA requirements translate into product development and conformity processes.
Organisers and hosts
The event is organised by the CYBERSTAND.eu and STAN4CRA.eu projects, and hosted by Sofia Tech Park (SNIRD), the Cybersecurity Lab and ESI (European Software Institute).
