How do you hire outside experts for Cyber Resilience Act compliance?
Hiring outside experts for the Cyber Resilience Act starts from the open Annex I requirement, then checks the provider's credentials, written scope, sample deliverable and independence, because no credential makes a service CRA compliant on its own.
Published by Porta Regulus B.V. These guides name no provider and carry no paid placement.
Key takeaways
- No credential makes a service CRA compliant, so a credential is a signal and the deliverable is the proof.
- Each guide lists the Annex I requirements the service gives evidence for, so every hire starts from an open gap in the product.
- On 17 October 2026, NANDO listed no active notified body under the Cyber Resilience Act.
- The same checks apply to every expert, including liability insurance, independence, a fixed scope and a shareable report.
