CRACoWi has been featured in a new article by Frank Bold, introducing the project and the support it offers to small and medium-sized enterprises preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

The article, published on 17 September, is part of a series aimed at helping Czech companies navigate CRA implementation by introducing European projects, resources and tools that can support them in this process. In the latest interview, Kristína Šabová from Frank Bold speaks with Sandra Bortek, representing the CRACoWi project, about the practical support CRACoWi can provide to SMEs and how Czech companies can benefit from the project’s activities.

Bringing CRACoWi closer to Czech SMEs

The interview introduces CRACoWi’s overall objective and the tools and resources being developed to make CRA compliance more manageable, particularly for SMEs, manufacturers, importers and distributors of products with digital elements.

One of the resources highlighted is the CRA Scope Check, already freely available through the CRACoWi website. The tool helps companies make an initial assessment of whether their product or service falls within the scope of the CRA. The interview also introduces the project’s CRAcademy, which provides webinars, workshops, FAQs, expert articles and other practical resources related to CRA implementation.

The discussion also covers the types of SMEs that can benefit from CRACoWi, the project’s ongoing use cases and pilots, and practical first steps for companies beginning their CRA compliance journey. Importantly, CRACoWi resources are available to SMEs across the EU, including companies based in the Czech Republic.

Extending CRACoWi’s reach through collaboration

Collaboration with organisations such as Frank Bold helps CRACoWi bring project knowledge and resources closer to companies in different European countries and connect with national SME communities.

We would like to thank Frank Bold and Kristína Šabová for the opportunity to introduce CRACoWi to their Czech audience and for supporting the dissemination of information about the tools and resources available to companies preparing for the CRA.
