The EU Cyber Resilience Act doesn't take full effect until 2027, but the mandatory vulnerability reporting deadline hits on September 11, 2026.

On this date, mandatory incident and vulnerability reporting begins under the EU's Cyber Resilience Act.

Many other EU regulations mandate security regulations, including the EU Cybersecurity Act, EU AI Act and the NIS2 Directive.

"If the answer is no, then the organization is not yet ready for the reality of the Cyber Resilience Act."

While much of the conversation around the Cyber Resilience Act centers on reporting deadlines, Cerin said, reporting is only the final step in the process.
