White paper for Engineering, product management & QA
24 Hours.
Who detects, who assesses, who reports, and the three points where the deadline reliably breaks.
The problem this is about
The clock does not start with you, it starts with the attacker: it runs from the moment someone exploits a vulnerability in one of your products. 24 hours for the early warning, 72 for the full report, including for devices long since shipped.
Because the full product requirements only bite on 11 December 2027, the near date gets overlooked. Yet the reporting duty is the part that goes live first, and the one that works least well without preparation. The first trace is rarely an alert; it is a support ticket that sounds odd.
What is inside
- The deadlines in detail: what triggers 24 and 72 hours, and what each covers
- Three roles that must interlock: support detects, engineering assesses, a named person reports
- The three breaking points. The ticket handled as routine, assessment waiting for certainty, nobody willing to sign
- Four preparations to have in place, including a pre-drafted first report and one dry run
For manufacturers of connected products, machinery, electronics, embedded, medical devices, who have so far treated the CRA as an engineering task.
