EU Cyber Resilience Act Art 14 — reporting readiness

The vulnerability-reporting obligation lands 11 Sep 2026 — three weeks away. Fines up to €15M or 2.5% of worldwide annual turnover. This page is the standing readiness record: what to report, how to evidence it, and how a signed measurement record helps you prove you were monitoring.

⚠️ Deadline: 11 September 2026. This is the nearest AI/Cyber-regulatory obligation on the estate feed. Do not confuse it with the EU AI Act high-risk deferral (2 Dec 2027) — CRA Art 14 is live-now and distinct.

How a signed measurement record evidences "you were monitoring"

Regulators ask for behavioral records: decision logs, model version histories, monitoring windows — not assertions. A signed, hash-chained measurement record gives you a defensible, tamper-evident answer to "what was your system doing, and did you watch it?"

What this is not

Not legal advice. Not a certification. Not a substitute for your own Art 14 reporting workflow. It is the evidence substrate — the signed, deterministic, replayable record that makes your reporting credible. We measure; we don't vouch.
