Are you experiencing any of these problems with CRA (Clinical Research Associate) support?

CRA (Clinical Research Assurance) solutions involve a wide range of issues that need to be addressed, from management decisions and organizational structure to development processes and product selection.

An image illustrating the inability to "build a development process that can accommodate CRAs (Clinical Research Associates)."

We cannot build a development process that can accommodate CRAs.

  • There is a shortage of expertise and personnel in secure development and vulnerability management.
  • I don't know the difference between the standards we already comply with and the CRA.
  • I don't know how to proceed with threat analysis and requirements definition.
An image illustrating the inability to translate CRA requirements into actual product design.

CRA requirements cannot be translated into actual product design.

  • Interpreting the results of threat analysis and requirements definition is difficult.
  • It is not possible to determine compatibility with current specifications or ease of implementation.
  • Unable to select software and hardware suitable for the requirements

For those who fit even one of the following criteria

This on-demand guide will explain the overall picture of CRA (Clinical Research Associate) compliance and the key points you need to know!

About

What is a CRA?

Cyber Resilience Act
(CRA) is

This EU regulation requires security measures throughout the entire product lifecycle for digital products sold in the European market.
The target companies are required to address not only product development but also the following areas:

  • Vulnerability management
  • SBOM management
  • Secure development
  • Incident Report
  • Post-shipment operation

CRA support is already
From the preparation stage to the execution stage

It was misused from September 11, 2026.
The obligation to report vulnerabilities and critical incidents has been implemented.
Failure to report or violation of regulations may result in administrative action or fines.
CRA (Clinical Research Abuse) response is finally moving from the "preparation stage" to the "implementation stage."

From September 11, 2026 Vulnerabilities and serious incidents that were exploited
Reporting obligation applies
Effective December 11, 2027, the main obligations of CRAs will apply.

01

Responding to reporting obligations is necessary.

The reporting obligation will apply from September 11, 2026.

Manufacturers are required to follow prescribed reporting procedures regarding exploited vulnerabilities and serious incidents that affect product security.

02

Secure development is required on a product-by-product basis.

Prepare now in anticipation of the start of application of key obligations.

With the major mandates coming into effect in December 2027, it will be necessary to integrate security into the development process. Multiple departments, including quality assurance and product planning, will need to collaborate and address this on a product-by-product basis.

03

Support is needed even after shipment.

Consider the entire product lifecycle.

Our services cover requirements definition, design, implementation and testing, production and shipping, and post-release management.

This is the background image for the section "CRA response has already moved from the preparation stage to the implementation stage."

Complying with CRA (Clinical Research Assurance) requirements is not complete simply by knowing the relevant laws and regulations.

​The first step is to clarify what stage your company is at and what preparations you need to make.
