CRA Compliance Without Building a Compliance Department
You manufacture products with digital elements. The CRA applies to every single one — but you don't have a dedicated team for it. Kunnus replaces 3–5 separate tools and external consultants with one platform.
Mid-sized manufacturers face a specific CRA dilemma: the regulation demands the same compliance as from a DAX corporation, but you have a fraction of the resources. CRA responsibilities fall between IT, product development, and legal — and nobody owns the topic. Kunnus gives your existing team a guided, step-by-step path to full compliance without hiring specialists or managing multiple vendors.
The CRA Challenge for Mid-Sized Manufacturers
No dedicated CRA team
The CRA doesn't come with headcount. In most mid-sized companies, compliance responsibility is split across product managers, IT leads, and legal — none of whom have time for another regulation. You need a solution that works for generalists, not specialists.
Existing products need a compliance retrofit
Your products are already on the market. SBOMs don't exist, vulnerability tracking is manual or absent, and security-by-design documentation was never created. The CRA requires all of this — retroactively — for every product with digital elements you sell in the EU.
Budget constraints meet enterprise-grade requirements
Enterprise compliance platforms cost six figures. Individual consultants charge by the hour with no end in sight. Meanwhile, the CRA penalties scale with your revenue — up to €15M or 2.5% of global turnover. You need enterprise-grade compliance at a Mittelstand-grade price.
Non-compliance with the essential cybersecurity requirements laid down in Annex I shall be subject to administrative fines of up to EUR 15,000,000 or, if the offender is an undertaking, up to 2.5% of its total worldwide annual turnover.
— Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, Art. 64
One Platform Instead of 3–5 Tools and External Consultants
Kunnus was built for the operational reality of mid-sized manufacturers. Instead of stitching together SBOM generators, vulnerability scanners, compliance consultants, and documentation tools, you get a single guided platform that takes your team from zero to audit-ready.
All-in-one compliance platform.
SBOM management, vulnerability monitoring, conformity documentation, and incident response — in one place. No more switching between tools, no more copy-pasting between spreadsheets. Kunnus replaces the patchwork and gives you a single source of truth for every product.
Guided step-by-step compliance.
You don't need to be a CRA expert. Kunnus walks your team through every requirement with clear checklists, pre-built templates, and contextual guidance. Product managers, developers, and technical leads can work through CRA requirements without external consultants.
Cloud deployment — zero IT overhead.
No servers to set up, no infrastructure to maintain. Kunnus runs in our EU-hosted cloud with full data residency guarantees. Your team is productive from day one — not after a 3-month IT project. SSO integration ensures seamless access for your entire organization.
