Where Venvera is strong

  • +Dedicated focus on Cyber Resilience Act compliance for European manufacturers.
  • +Automated Annex VII technical file generation and Module A self-assessment workflows.
  • +Structured risk assessment questionnaires and compliance roadmap tracking.
  • +German company with full EU data sovereignty and GDPR compliance.

Where it is not a CRA fit

  • !Positioned primarily as a governance questionnaire rather than an operational disclosure intake system.
  • !No free tier for SMEs needing an immediate Article 13 single point of contact.
  • !Lacks a public whitelabel vulnerability intake portal with RFC 9116 security.txt hosting.
  • !CSAF 2.0 advisory generation is not advertised as a built-in automated capability.

The CRA gap

Venvera provides structured compliance questionnaires and technical file management. The CRA requires an operational disclosure system alongside the governance record: an active Article 13 public single point of contact, 48-hour researcher acknowledgment tracking, and automated 24-hour Article 14 reporting to ENISA.

Frequently asked

How does Venvera compare to CVD Portal?
Venvera is a CRA governance tool focused on compliance questionnaires and technical file creation. CVD Portal combines operational vulnerability intake (Article 13), ENISA incident reporting (Article 14), and product conformity records in one system.
Does Venvera host our public security.txt file?
Venvera does not advertise hosted RFC 9116 security.txt endpoints. CVD Portal automatically generates, signs, and hosts your security.txt file and branded submission portal under your domain.
How does CVD Portal handle Article 14 reporting compared to Venvera?
CVD Portal provides automated countdown timers and pre-formatted SRP submission packages for 24-hour early warnings, 72-hour notifications, and 14-day corrective action reports.
Can we use both platforms together?
Yes. If an organization uses Venvera for broader governance and conformity roadmaps, CVD Portal can operate as the public Article 13 intake and Article 14 operational reporting engine.

CVD Portal provides a Free tier (€0/month) for Article 13 intake and transparent monthly pricing from €99/month. Venvera is sold on annual commercial subscriptions.
