With the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Article 14 reporting obligations set to activate on September 11, 2026, manufacturers of products with digital elements are under pressure to meet strict vulnerability reporting deadlines. Visure Solutions has announced a purpose-built compliance solution designed to address the full scope of CRA requirements, from Annex I essential cybersecurity requirements to the 10-year documentation retention mandated by Annex VII.
The launch comes as companies face the immediate need to report actively exploited vulnerabilities to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and national Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) within 24 hours. According to Fernando Valera, CTO at Visure Solutions, compliance is not a one-time documentation exercise but a structured engineering process that spans the entire product lifecycle. 'Manufacturers who treat it as a documentation task will find themselves unable to respond to Article 14 incidents in time, unable to reproduce a historical baseline for a market surveillance audit, and unable to demonstrate a governed process to notified bodies,' Valera said.
The Visure ALM platform integrates CRA compliance into the engineering workflow, offering end-to-end traceability across disciplines. It allows manufacturers to map each Annex I clause to design decisions and verified tests through a live Traceability Matrix, which automatically flags suspect links when upstream changes occur. This ensures that every requirement is linked to evidence, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
One of the key features is SBOM-driven vulnerability response. When a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) entry is reported, the platform performs blast-radius analysis to identify affected requirements, baselines, and product versions. This enables compliance with Article 14's strict timelines: 24 hours for initial reporting, 72 hours for detailed updates, and 14 days for final reports. The system tracks these deadlines live, ensuring that manufacturers never miss a critical reporting window.
The platform also simplifies the generation of technical audit packs. The Annex VII evidence pack is built continuously from engineering work and can be exported from a signed baseline in minutes via Word or ReqIF. This feature is crucial for market surveillance audits, as it allows manufacturers to reproduce any release's baseline, even years later.
To support security requirements definition, Visure leverages its on-premise AI engine, Vivia (Visure Virtual Assistance). Vivia generates CRA-aligned requirement drafts from Annex I clauses, but human sign-off is required before any baseline entry. The AI operates entirely within the customer's environment, ensuring zero data leaves the facility.
Moustapha Tadlaoui, CEO of Visure Solutions, emphasized that the platform provides the engineering foundation for operational compliance. 'Live traceability. Signed baselines. On-premise AI. All in one platform,' he said.
The company is hosting a webinar on September 24, 2026, to demonstrate how to embed cybersecurity and compliance across the product lifecycle. The session will cover Article 14 response workflows, Annex VII evidence pack generation, and AI-driven requirements creation with Vivia. Interested parties can register at Visure's webinar page.
