The Cognisec CRA Engine was not built by software developers who read the CRA regulation. It was built by cybersecurity professionals who have spent 15+ years implementing compliance in real industrial environments — OT networks, SCADA systems, IEC 62443, and enterprise security architecture. We know what compliance actually looks like in practice.
This is not a startup with an idea. This is a team that has lived and breathed cybersecurity compliance for over a decade across multiple industries and continents.
Years combined experience in OT and enterprise cybersecurity compliance
CRA requirements — all mapped, interpreted, and embedded by compliance experts
Dedicated role panels designed with strict separation of duties matching CRA governance
Generic GRC tools used as base. Built from scratch, purpose-built for CRA alone.
Every feature in the CRA Engine was designed by professionals who have performed real compliance assessments, written real technical documentation, and sat in real regulatory audits.
Deep expertise in Operational Technology security — SCADA systems, industrial control networks, PLCs, and safety-critical systems. We know what CRA means for manufacturing environments because we have worked in them.
Extensive experience implementing ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and regulatory compliance frameworks across large enterprises. We have written the documentation that regulators actually accept.
In-depth knowledge of EU cybersecurity regulations — NIS2, CRA, GDPR, and product liability law. We interpret the regulation so you don't have to hire an army of lawyers.
There are generic compliance platforms. And then there is the Cognisec CRA Engine. The difference is not cosmetic — it is fundamental.
Every feature, every workflow, every field was designed specifically for the EU Cyber Resilience Act. Nothing generic. Nothing irrelevant.
No configuration. No mapping. No interpretation. The 14 CRA requirements are already built in and ready to use on day one.
Manufacturer, Supplier, Auditor — each with their own dedicated interface. Strict separation of duties by design.
Data never leaves Europe. GDPR compliance is built in from the ground up, not added as an afterthought.
Manage unlimited suppliers, their BOM devices, connections, risk assessments, and compliance submissions — all in one place.
No implementation project. No consulting fees. No 6-month onboarding. You are live in under 10 minutes.
Generic frameworks need months of customisation, consulting hours, and deep configuration before they work for CRA.
You need compliance experts to manually map CRA requirements to the tool. That takes time, money, and expertise you may not have.
Most tools are designed for one team. Managing Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Auditors requires workarounds or separate tools.
Many GRC platforms host data in the USA, creating GDPR compliance issues for EU companies handling sensitive supply chain data.
Most tools focus on internal compliance. Managing your entire supplier ecosystem requires bolt-on modules or additional tools.
Typical GRC implementation takes 3-6 months. With 2027 approaching, you cannot afford a 6-month setup project.
Built to the same security standards we help our clients achieve. We practice what we preach.
Every component of the CRA Engine is built against OWASP Top 10 security standards. Penetration tested, vulnerability scanned, and continuously monitored.
Each client gets their own isolated database. Your data is completely separated from every other client. No shared database risk. Full data sovereignty.
Role-based access control at every level. Session management, audit logging, and multi-factor authentication support built into every panel.
Hosted exclusively on European Union servers. All data processed and stored within EU jurisdiction. Full GDPR Article 44-49 compliance.
Every action in the system is logged with timestamp, user, and action. The audit trail cannot be modified or deleted. Admissible in regulatory proceedings.
Each client gets their own subdomain — e.g. ibm.cognisec-cra.com. Isolated environment, custom access, full data separation.
The Cognisec CRA Engine is built in alignment with industry-leading security frameworks.
All 14 requirements
EU data protection
Security management
Cybersecurity framework
Application security
OT security standards
We are actively seeking motivated sales partners across the United Kingdom and European Union to represent the Cognisec CRA Engine. If you work in cybersecurity, compliance consulting, or IT services — let's talk.
