OCCTET Needs Analysis Workshop
Monday, March 17, 2025
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces new cybersecurity requirements for digital products, impacting SMEs, open-source developers, and software vendors across Europe. As compliance deadlines approach, many SMEs face uncertainty about how to meet these obligations, what tools to use, and what steps to take.
As part of its mission to simplify CRA compliance, OCCTET is hosting a Needs Analysis Workshop to gather insights from SMEs and key stakeholders. The goal is to identify compliance challenges, assess cybersecurity preparedness, and ensure that the OCCTET open-source toolkit is built to address real SME needs.
