Common questions
Questions to settle before the work starts
Short answers to the questions that usually determine whether this is the right engagement.
- What does a Cyber Resilience Act consultant help with?
- The work covers CRA applicability, product scope, secure development, vulnerability handling, SBOM ownership, technical documentation and the evidence needed for implementation decisions.
- Is this a legal CRA conformity assessment?
- No. EmberKat provides technical product-security consulting and implementation support. Formal legal and conformity-assessment decisions remain with the responsible manufacturer and qualified assessors.
- Does CRA consulting apply to SaaS software?
- The scope depends on how the software is placed on the EU market and whether it falls within the CRA definition of a product with digital elements. The engagement starts with that technical applicability question.

- conformity assessment
- The formal check that a product meets its legal requirements before it is placed on the market.
- SBOMSoftware Bill of Materials
- A list of every component inside a piece of software — an ingredients label, in a form a machine can read.
