As the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) enforcement intensifies, Visure Solutions has announced a new compliance solution designed to help manufacturers of products with digital elements meet every obligation under the regulation. The launch comes just days before Article 14 reporting requirements take effect on September 11, 2026, which mandate that manufacturers report actively exploited vulnerabilities to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and national Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) within 24 hours.
Visure's platform transforms what many might view as a documentation challenge into a structured engineering process. According to Fernando Valera, CTO of Visure Solutions, "CRA compliance is not a one-time documentation exercise. It is a structured engineering process that runs from Day 1 of product design through the end of the support period." Valera emphasized that treating compliance as a mere paperwork task would leave manufacturers unable to respond to incidents in time or demonstrate a governed process to notified bodies.
The solution addresses key CRA obligations, including Annex I essential cybersecurity requirements, Article 14 vulnerability reporting, and the 10-year retention of Annex VII documentation. Visure's ALM platform provides end-to-end traceability across engineering disciplines, replacing fragmented tools with a single governed environment. Manufacturers can trace every requirement to evidence by importing Annex I clauses as structured items, linking them to risks, design decisions, and verified tests via a live Traceability Matrix. Any upstream change automatically triggers suspect links, ensuring real-time visibility.
When a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) entry is reported, the platform's SBOM-driven traceability enables blast-radius analysis, surfacing every affected requirement, baseline, and product version. This capability is critical for meeting Article 14's strict deadlines of 24 hours for initial reporting, 72 hours for updates, and 14 days for final reports. The system tracks these SLA deadlines live, ensuring manufacturers stay compliant.
For market surveillance audits, Visure generates technical audit packs on demand. The Annex VII evidence pack is built continuously from engineering work and can be exported from a signed baseline in minutes via Word or ReqIF. Requirements pass through governed review workflows before entering electronically signed, immutable baselines, which can be fully restored years later for any regulatory request.
To further streamline compliance, Visure's on-premise AI engine, Vivia (Visure Virtual Assistance), generates CRA-aligned requirement drafts from Annex I clauses in hours. Human sign-off is required before any baseline entry, and zero data leaves the customer environment, addressing security and privacy concerns.
Moustapha Tadlaoui, CEO of Visure Solutions, highlighted the importance of the platform: "As manufacturers move toward operational CRA compliance, Visure provides the engineering foundation required to meet every obligation as a governed, repeatable process, not a documentation exercise. Live traceability. Signed baselines. On-premise AI. All in one platform."
To help manufacturers prepare, Visure is hosting a webinar on September 24, 2026, titled "Ensuring Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Compliance Across the Product Lifecycle: Embedding Cybersecurity, Traceability, and Compliance from Design to Deployment." The session, led by Fernando Valera, will cover Article 14 response workflows, Annex VII evidence pack generation, and AI requirements generation with Vivia. Registration is available at https://visuresolutions.com/webinars/cra-compliance-product-lifecycle/.
The announcement underscores the growing importance of proactive cybersecurity compliance in product development. With the CRA imposing stringent requirements, manufacturers must adopt tools that integrate compliance into every stage of the product lifecycle. Visure's solution offers a path to not only meet regulatory demands but also enhance overall product quality and security.
