The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) sets hard deadlines, so small and mid-sized companies need a way to get compliant fast. Right now there's a gap: enterprise tools are one thing, and there's nothing built for the companies that can just assess themselves.
Executive summary
You could sell a cheap CRA compliance tool to small software and hardware makers. They need to self-assess, track their software bill of materials (SBOM), and file incident reports, all before the 2026 deadline.
Build a step-by-step tool for small EU software and hardware makers. They have to fill out Annex I checklists, track their SBOM, keep technical docs, and report incidents on a 24-hour, 72-hour, and 14-day clock. The deadline is real and most of these companies aren't ready. In ENISA's 2026 SME survey, one in five weren't even sure the CRA applied to them, and only 14% said they understood conformity assessment, the process for proving a product meets the rule.
The best place to start is self-assessment. About 90% of products can self-assess instead of going through a notified body (a third-party assessor the EU names). Enterprise compliance platforms and consultants are priced for big buyers, so nobody serves the small companies. Something under €200 a month fits right there.
The hard part is being believable. Buyers want outputs that hold up, not generic advice. So the first version has to make collecting evidence, generating reports, and linking the SBOM the whole point of the product, not extras bolted on later.
- The deadlines are real. Vulnerability reporting kicks in 11 September 2026, then full compliance on 11 December 2027.
- Nobody serves small companies that self-assess. Enterprise platforms and law firms price for big buyers.
- A founder can build this as workflow software with AI helping write the docs, correlating the SBOM, and templating the reports.

Questions, answered
A researcher just reported a vulnerability in our product. Now what?
Open the incident workflow: Attestly drafts your 24-hour early warning from the affected product's SBOM, then queues the 72-hour notification and 14-day report with every deadline tracked.
Will output from a tool hold up under scrutiny?
Every generated checklist item and report keeps its source artifacts, timestamps, and version history, so what you hand over is documented evidence, not tribal knowledge.
Shouldn't we just hire a consultant for this?
Around 90% of products can self-assess under the CRA's default category, no notified body required. If you want help with the first product, guided onboarding covers it, then the subscription carries the ongoing work.
