EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)​

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a landmark regulation designed to strengthen cybersecurity across the European Union by setting mandatory requirements for products with digital elements (PDEs)— including hardware, software, and connected devices.

  • What is the EU Cyber Resilience Act?
  • Purpose: To ensure that all digital products sold in the EU are secure by design and remain secure throughout their lifecycle.
  • Scope: Applies to nearly all connected products, including IoT devices, embedded systems, cloud-based software, and industrial equipment.
  • Key Requirements:
    • Products must be free of known vulnerabilities at launch.
    • Manufacturers must provide security updates throughout the product’s lifecycle.
    • A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) must be maintained and disclosed.
    • Vulnerability reporting mechanism must be in place.
    • Products must be configured securely by default.
  • Johnson Controls Product Lifecycle Information

  • Product Lifecycle Announcement

The CRA introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold within the EU. These include secure-by-design principles, vulnerability management, software transparency, and long- term support obligations. Johnson Controls is committed to meeting these standards across our portfolio of connected products and services.

  • Our Compliance Efforts Include:
  • Conducting a comprehensive audit of all applicable products
  • Integrating secure-by-default architecture into product development
  • Establishing robust vulnerability reporting and patching protocols
  • Maintaining Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for transparency
  • Collaborating with EU regulatory bodies and industry partners

We view the CRA not only as a regulatory requirement but as an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to cybersecurity, customer trust, and operational excellence. Our teams are working diligently to meet all CRA milestones ahead of the enforcement deadlines, with vulnerability reporting obligations beginning September 2026 and full compliance required by December 2027.
