The CRA gap

Kunnus and CVD Portal both cover the conformity path from classification to the EU Declaration of Conformity. The difference is the Article 13 side. CVD Portal hosts the manufacturer's public single point of contact, security.txt and researcher triage on a free tier, so reports that start an Article 14 clock arrive in the same record that files them.

Why teams pick CVD Portal for CRA

Five differences that matter to an EU manufacturer choosing between the two.

  1. 1

    Whitelabel Article 13 intake portal with hosted RFC 9116 security.txt on the Free tier.

  2. 2

    Published pricing, from €0 per month for Article 13 to €299 per month for the full CRA workflow.

  3. 3

    CSAF 2.0 and OpenVEX advisories generated from the remediation record.

  4. 4

    Free public classifier at /classify that derives the Article 32 conformity route.

  5. 5

    Article 14 submission packages drafted from the same product record as the intake.
