Your Indian cybersecurity company sells a security product in the European market. Annex III of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 classifies SIEM systems, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, VPNs, and password managers as Important products — Class I or Class II. The conformity assessment requirements are stricter. The Annex VII documentation is mandatory regardless. CRACheck generates it.

Cybersecurity companies exist to protect others. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires them to protect themselves — or at least to document how they do it. If your Indian cybersecurity company sells a SIEM (Annex III Class I §7), a firewall or IDS/IPS (Annex III Class II §2), a VPN (Class I §5), or a password manager (Class I §3), the product is classified as Important under the CRA. That means Module A self-assessment alone may not suffice — if you have not applied harmonised standards or certification schemes, Article 32(2) requires notified body involvement (Module B+C or H). The Annex VII technical documentation is mandatory for all paths. CRACheck generates 8 structured PDFs in 15–25 minutes. €149 per product. 100% browser-side.

How it works

1
Classify your product under Annex III
Use the free CRACheck classifier. SIEM: Class I §7. Firewalls/IDS/IPS: Class II §2. VPN: Class I §5. Password managers: Class I §3. Network management: Class I §6.
2
Determine conformity assessment path
Class I with harmonised standards: Module A (self-assessment) allowed (Art. 32(2)). Class I without: Module B+C or H (notified body). Class II: always Module B+C, H, or certification (Art. 32(3)).
3
Complete CRACheck
15–25 minutes. Security product-specific inputs: threat detection methodology, encryption implementations, update distribution, vulnerability research process.
4
Download the 8-PDF dossier
Annex VII documentation is required for all conformity paths. Whether Module A or B+C, the technical documentation must exist.
5
Engage notified body if required
For Class I without harmonised standards or Class II, submit the Annex VII dossier to the notified body. CRACheck output serves as the starting documentation.
6
CE mark and declare conformity
After assessment, affix CE marking (Art. 30) and sign the EU declaration of conformity (Art. 28).
7
Implement Art. 14 vulnerability reporting
From 11 September 2026. Cybersecurity companies discovering vulnerabilities in their own products must notify ENISA within 24 hours.

Three mistakes to avoid

COMMON MISTAKE

"We are a cybersecurity company — we know cybersecurity better than the regulators"

Knowing cybersecurity and documenting cybersecurity under Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 are different activities. Your product may have excellent security engineering. The regulation requires that engineering to be documented in a specific format — product description, architecture, risk assessment, SBOM, vulnerability handling, test reports, standards applied, declaration of conformity. CRACheck structures what you already know.

COMMON MISTAKE

"We can use Module A self-assessment like everyone else"

Module A is available for Default products and for Important Class I products where harmonised standards have been fully applied (Art. 32(2)). If your product is Class I and harmonised standards do not yet exist or you have not applied them, you need Module B+C or H — involving a notified body. Class II products always require notified body involvement (Art. 32(3)). Classification matters.

COMMON MISTAKE

"Our SOC 2 + ISO 27001 covers CRA requirements"

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certify your organisational security posture. The CRA requires product-level documentation: Annex VII describes the specific product, not the organisation. The regulation requires an SBOM (Annex VII §2(b)), a product-specific cybersecurity risk assessment (Art. 13(2)), and evidence of Annex I compliance. Organisational certifications are referenced in Annex VII §5 but do not replace the product documentation.

What the ZIP contains

8 PDF documents generated from your data. Each cites the specific article of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 it complies with.

1

Product Classifier

Annex III classification with specific category identification (Class I §7 for SIEM, Class II §2 for firewalls, etc.).

2

Technical Documentation

Annex VII. Security product architecture: detection engines, encryption modules, threat intelligence feeds, API surface.

Generates Annex VII documentation for your cybersecurity product. 8 PDFs. 15–25 minutes. €149. Required for all conformity assessment paths — Module A, B+C, or H.

∅ WHAT CRACHECK DOES NOT DO

What falls outside CRACheck

Does not perform the notified body assessment required for Class I without harmonised standards or Class II (Art. 32(2)-(3)). Does not determine which harmonised standards apply. Does not replace your internal security testing.

We produce the documentation. You handle the conformity assessment path.

What CRACheck guarantees and what it does not

CRACheck generates a structured document under Article 31 and Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 from the information you provide. The accuracy is your responsibility as the manufacturer.

We guarantee structure and legal references. We do not guarantee acceptance by a notified body or market surveillance authority.

CRACheck is not legal advice. For conformity assessment pathway decisions — especially for Annex III Class I/II products — consult a qualified regulatory consultant.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a cybersecurity product need CRA compliance?
Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 applies to all products with digital elements on the EU market. Cybersecurity products are explicitly classified in Annex III (SIEM: Class I §7, firewalls/IDS: Class II §2, VPN: Class I §5). The regulation addresses the product's own cybersecurity posture — not the security it provides to others.
What is the difference between Class I and Class II for conformity assessment?
Class I (Art. 32(2)): If you have applied harmonised standards or certification schemes at 'substantial' level, Module A (self-assessment) is sufficient. If not, you need Module B+C or H (notified body). Class II (Art. 32(3)): Always requires Module B+C, H, or applicable European cybersecurity certification scheme. The documentation under Annex VII is required in all cases.
Are harmonised standards for the CRA available yet?
As of the regulation's publication, harmonised standards specifically for the CRA are being developed by European standardisation organisations. Until they are published, Important Class I products that cannot reference existing standards will need notified body involvement under Art. 32(2).
A cybersecurity company failing CRA compliance — how bad is the reputational risk?
The CRA requires cybersecurity companies to meet the same product cybersecurity standards they help others achieve. Non-compliance would signal that the company cannot meet its own standards. The reputational damage may exceed the financial penalty.
Is it a subscription?
No. One-time payment. 30 days editing, 10 regenerations.
Can I request a refund?
Art. 16(m) Directive (EU) 2011/83. Activation = express consent. Refunds only for reproducible technical failures.
What if the regulation changes?
Regenerate at no additional cost during your licence period.
