Understanding what SMEs and FOSS communities really need
This OCCTET publication explores the concrete needs and obstacles that SMEs and FOSS contributors face when it comes to complying with the Cyber Resilience Act. The Report is based on input from SMEs and FOSS stakeholders through interviews, surveys, and focus groups. It also draws expert consultations and a broad review of compliance literature and case studies.
Why this matters
This production lays the groundwork for the OCCTET toolkit. By collecting real-world input, we aim to ensure that the tools we develop are practical, easy to use, and actually respond to day-to-day challenges SMEs and developers face when trying to comply with CRA requirements.
