CRA SBOM & incident reporting: 24h / 72h / 14 days explained
July 2026·7 min min read
Beyond security by design, the CRA expects software bill of materials (SBOM) transparency and a clear incident reporting chain (orientation: first report 24h → update 72h → close 14 days, via national CSIRT/ENISA channels among others).
Practical pain
- Legacy code without a clean dependency inventory
- No playbook for who reports within 24 hours
- Unsigned OTA / weak rollback — more risk and evidence pressure
Our approach
We help make SBOM and reporting processes technically workable: component inventory, update/OTA hardening, evidence docs — as engineering accompaniment, not as an authority or notified body.

Bottom line
Regulatory and certification topics are engineering topics with deadlines. Structuring early saves lab loops and compliance downtime.
