Build Continuously
Evidence for EU CRA

The EU Cyber Resilience Act gives you 24 hours to warn and 72 hours to notify from the moment you become aware of an actively exploited vulnerability. With JFrog, you already have the proof before the clock starts.

The Cost of Getting CRA Wrong

If you sell products with digital elements in the EU, ignoring CRA could mean more than just a fine. It could result in you losing the right to sell your product in the market. Are you prepared to take that chance?

Face Fines Up to 2.5% of Turnover

The penalty applies to your entire company’s revenue, not just one product or team.

Lose the Right to Sell

Companies that cannot demonstrate compliance could lose the right to sell a product in the EU.

Pull Products Off the Market

Regulators can order a product recall. The logistics are immediate. The lost customers and deals are long-term damage.

Your Current Processes Leave Three Gaps CRA Will Expose

Stop Assembling CRA Evidence Manually

With JFrog, you build a continuous audit trail as you ship. JFrog AppTrust supports CRA requirements through evidence-based gates.

Govern CRA Requirements Across Your Software Supply Chain

Find the CRA obligation your team owns. See what JFrog supports and what evidence backs it.

Obligations

SBOM and Vulnerability Disclosure

SBOM generation, technical documentation, and vulnerability disclosure across every release

JFrog Coverage

Automated SBOMs And Disclosure Records

JFrog generates a standards-based SBOM for each scanned release, identifies and documents the components it detects, and alerts on vulnerabilities. It can keep your vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact attached to the product’s compliance record.

Obligations

Vulnerability Handling & Remediation

Vulnerability handling, timely remediation, and security records across the full product lifecycle.

JFrog Coverage

Continuous Monitoring And Release Gating

JFrog can continuously monitor the software components in your release for known vulnerabilities, rank and track them by exploitability, and maintain timestamped records of findings, waivers, and remediation decisions. Gate releases to help keep applicable critical vulnerabilities from shipping unless a policy or exception allows it.

Obligations

Vulnerability & Incident Reporting

Evidence assembly for regulatory reporting once an actively exploited vulnerability or severe incident is known.

JFrog Coverage

Ready-made Evidence For Reporting

JFrog can maintain the scan history and remediation records attached to each release, so when an incident is known, your team can access evidence that supports the 24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification, and final report without reconstructing it from scratch.

Obligations

Secure Development Lifecycle

SDLC policy enforcement, providing a secure central repo of risk documentation, and technical file maintenance across the product lifecycle.

JFrog Coverage

SDLC Policy Gates And Documentation

JFrog can enforce the SDLC policy gates you define at each development stage, store and version your risk assessments and technical documentation across the product lifecycle, and evaluate component approval before packages reach a build, reducing the attack surface at ingestion.

Obligations

Third-Party & OSS Due Diligence

Due diligence on every third-party and open-source component before it enters a build.

JFrog Coverage

Policy-based Component Screening

JFrog can evaluate third-party open-source packages against policy before they enter a build, and can track remediation of component vulnerabilities with the same detail used for first-party findings.

Obligations

Conformity, Change Management & Audit

Conformity procedures, change records, technical documentation retention, and corrective-action records across every release.

JFrog Coverage

Release-level Conformity & Change Evidence

JFrog enables you to bind verifiable change and conformity evidence to each release – verifying peer reviews, build provenance, and security gate results – while keeping corrective-action and vulnerability root-cause records directly linked to the release findings that triggered them.

Obligations

Software Update & Support Lifecycle

Security support type, support period end date, and free-of-charge update policy attached to the product compliance record.

JFrog Coverage

Support Metadata Per Release

JFrog can attach the security support type and free-of-charge security update policy to the product’s compliance record, so the disclosure requirement can be met as part of the standard release process.

From CRA Rule to Traceable Evidence in JFrog AppTrust

Enforce Pre-Mapped CRA Policies From Day One

Pre-mapped frameworks arrive as Policy-as-Code, so your team switches on the controls that apply instead of coding them. Each CRA control maps to one or more AppTrust rules, and coverage scoring shows how much of each framework is active.

Block Releases That Fail Your Policies Before They Ship

Out-of-the-box and customizable CRA policy gates can evaluate each promotion. When a control is set to block, releases that fail it don’t reach production, whether the issue is an unresolved CVE, a missing approval, or a failed test.

Pull Evidence for Any Release, When You Need It

AppTrust collects signed evidence from across your pipeline, including SBOMs, test results, Jira tickets, and provenance records, and binds it to one application version. No more assembling proof from screenshots or spreadsheets. Pull the evidence for that version when a regulator or customer asks.

Frequently Asked Questions

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) establishes mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold on the EU market. The regulation entered into force on 10 December 2024, with Article 14 reporting mandates applying from 11 September 2026 and full enforcement taking effect on 11 December 2027.

It can. The CRA applies to in-scope products made available on the EU market, wherever the manufacturer is located.

JFrog AppTrust keeps scan results, sign-offs, and remediation history attached to each release, so your team starts the report from existing evidence rather than assembling it after the fact. Your team still drafts and submits it.

JFrog AppTrust can generate and maintain the compliance evidence (SBOMs, scan results, and policy sign-offs) that feed into your technical file. Narrative sections like the EU declaration of conformity, the cybersecurity risk assessment, and the product description still require authorship from your team.

No platform makes you compliant on its own. CRA obligations sit with the manufacturer. JFrog does not perform conformity assessments, issue CE markings, or set support periods. JFrog provides the software supply chain visibility, security intelligence, and evidence that support your compliance program.

The CRA can apply to any company that places products with digital elements on the EU market, regardless of company size or where you are headquartered. Key enforcement deadlines include Article 14 vulnerability and incident reporting (starting September 11, 2026) and full regulatory application, including secure-by-design and CE marking requirements (starting December 11, 2027).

The EU CRA requires a machine-readable SBOM covering at least top-level dependencies as part of technical documentation kept up to date. JFrog Xray can generate and export SPDX and CycloneDX SBOMs for scanned builds and releases to help track all components and dependencies.

Starting 11 December 2027, non-compliance with the EU CRA can lead to administrative fines of up to €15 million or 2.5% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher for breaches of the essential cybersecurity requirements and core manufacturer obligations. Market surveillance authorities can also require product withdrawals or recalls and restrict or prohibit sales.
