Startup Program

From Zero to CRA-Ready

You’re building the future of connected products. We make sure the EU Cyber Resilience Act doesn’t slow you down.

Does your product have a digital element that connects to a device or network? If yes — the CRA applies to you.

Startups building products with digital elements face the same CRA obligations as large enterprises – but with a fraction of the budget. Kunnus levels the playing field with a dedicated startup program designed to make compliance accessible from day one.

The CRA Doesn’t Care About Your Runway

Same deadlines, smaller team

September 2026 for reporting obligations. December 2027 for full compliance. The timeline is the same whether you have 5 employees or 5,000.

Full regulatory scope

If your product has digital elements and enters the EU market, you need SBOM management, vulnerability handling, and conformity documentation – no exceptions for company size.

Enterprise tools, startup budget

Most compliance platforms are built for enterprise. Their pricing reflects that. You need a solution that scales with you, not against you.

CRA Relief Measures for Startups

As a micro or small enterprise, you benefit from targeted CRA exemptions: fine exemption for late early warnings, simplified technical documentation, dedicated helpdesks, and priority access to regulatory sandboxes. The core cybersecurity requirements remain the same — but the path to compliance is made easier.

Our Startup Program

Kunnus doesn’t just help you comply — it makes compliance part of your product lifecycle. We offer qualifying startups access to the full Kunnus platform at significantly reduced rates – so you can focus on building great products while staying CRA-ready.

Full platform access, cloud-deployed.

No feature limitations, no stripped-down version. You get the same powerful tools that enterprises use – SBOM management, automated vulnerability monitoring, conformity documentation, and regulatory tracking. Fully cloud-hosted in the EU, so there’s nothing to install and you’re up and running in minutes.

Pricing that respects your stage.

We work with startups individually to find a licensing model that fits your current situation. Our goal is to remove cost as a blocker – not to sell you something you can’t afford.

A compliance partner, not just a tool.

Our team understands the specific challenges startups face with CRA compliance. We help you set up efficiently and avoid costly mistakes early on.

The startup program is available to companies that meet specific eligibility criteria. Contact our team to learn more about qualification and terms.

Is Your Startup Eligible?

Our program is designed for early-stage companies building products that fall under the EU Cyber Resilience Act. Typical participants include:

  • Companies with fewer than 50 employees
  • Building connected products, IoT devices, or software with digital elements
  • Planning to enter or already active in the EU market
  • Funded or revenue-generating, but at an early growth stage
