Introducing CRACY: Your Key to Effortless Cyber Resilience Compliance

The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and with it comes the need for stronger cybersecurity regulations. The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is setting new security standards for all digital products sold in the EU, ensuring they are designed securely and protected against vulnerabilities. For businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), navigating these compliance requirements can be challenging.

That’s where CRACY comes in.
