About Us
Making CRA Compliance Simple
Kunnus is built by Think Ahead Technologies — a team of cloud, security, and compliance experts based in Stuttgart, Germany. We believe manufacturers should focus on building great products, not on compliance paperwork.
Our Mission
The EU Cyber Resilience Act will fundamentally change how products with digital elements are brought to market. We built Kunnus to help manufacturers navigate this transition — reducing compliance costs by over 70% and turning regulatory requirements into a competitive advantage.

With over 24 years of combined experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and security, we help companies build secure, scalable solutions.

What Drives Us
Security First
We believe cybersecurity should be built in from the start, not bolted on as an afterthought. Kunnus embodies this principle.
Simplicity
Compliance shouldn't require a dedicated legal team. We make complex regulations actionable and understandable.
Pragmatism
We focus on what actually matters for compliance. No unnecessary complexity, no over-engineering — just the right tools for the job.
Partnership
We succeed when our customers succeed. We work closely with manufacturers to understand their real challenges.
Our Expertise
CRA & Compliance
Deep knowledge of the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2, IEC 62443, and ISO 27001. We translate regulatory requirements into practical implementation steps.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS. We build secure, scalable infrastructure for compliance platforms.

From initial CRA gap assessment to full platform deployment. We guide manufacturers through every step of their compliance journey.
