Deliverable 01
Cyber Resilience Act · 24/72h reporting · SRP operational readiness
Can your team move from vulnerability awareness to defensible CRA reporting data in time?
Enki Tech runs a focused technical dry run for manufacturers of products with digital elements. The sprint tests the operational path from detection and product impact to independent deadline control, ownership, reporting data, SRP submission readiness, remediation and evidence—before the first real event starts the clock.
The buying problem
The regulation may be documented. The operational handoffs still fail under time pressure.
A scanner, ticketing tool, SBOM, incident policy, legal guidance and reporting portal do not automatically create a working 24/72-hour response path. The sprint tests whether people, data, deadline controls and evidence can be mobilized quickly enough when an actively exploited vulnerability or severe product-security incident is discovered.
Fixed-scope sprint
One scenario. One timed workflow. Clear gaps and owners.
The engagement is designed as a bounded technical-readiness exercise, not an open-ended compliance programme.
Deliverable 02
Independent regulatory clock anchored to the actual awareness timestamp
Deliverable 03
Product, version, owner and evidence-source mapping for the selected scenario
Deliverable 04
24-hour early-warning and 72-hour notification data-readiness review
Deliverable 05
SRP operational readiness covering representative ownership, backup coverage and submission handoff
Deliverable 06
Escalation matrix with primary and backup owners for critical handoffs
Deliverable 07
Evidence map showing what can be retrieved quickly and what remains manual
Deliverable 08
Prioritized remediation backlog focused on operational bottlenecks
Deliverable 09
Readiness score and concise management summary for the tested workflow
Dry-run path
From awareness time to verified technical closure
Every stage is linked to an owner, source system, evidence requirement and target response time.

T0
Detect and validate
Confirm that the event is credible, establish the actual awareness time and preserve the technical source of truth.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
Clock
Start the independent deadline control
Calculate internal 24-hour and 72-hour deadlines from the awareness timestamp rather than depending on a portal timer or individual memory.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
Impact
Map product and affected versions
Determine whether the selected product or version is affected and identify the business and security context.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
Own
Assign decision and submission authority
Identify the primary owner, backup owner and escalation path across Security, Engineering, Product and Legal/Compliance.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
24h
Prepare early-warning data
Test whether required technical facts can be assembled inside the first reporting window.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
72h
Complete notification data
Validate the deeper impact, mitigation, status and evidence needed for the main notification workflow.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
SRP
Validate the human submission path
Confirm that the responsible representative, backup coverage, authentication and submission handoff are operationally understood.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
Fix
Track remediation
Connect the reporting process to corrective or mitigating action, validation and an owned backlog.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact
Pass, constrained or remediation required
Close
Preserve evidence
Confirm that the final reporting path and supporting evidence can be reproduced after the event.
Named source of truth and retrievable artefact

Typical scope
Designed for a fast commercial start
One selected product family or clearly bounded product scope
One primary scenario: actively exploited vulnerability or severe security incident
Security, Engineering/Product and compliance decision-makers represented
Existing vulnerability, incident, inventory and evidence sources reviewed
Independent 24/72-hour deadline tracking and escalation path tested
SRP submission ownership and backup handoff reviewed
Short management readout plus technical remediation backlog
Important boundary
Technical readiness—not legal advice and not a 24/7 IR retainer
Enki Tech tests technical and operational readiness, evidence availability and engineering handoffs. The client retains responsibility for legal interpretation, reportability decisions, regulatory submissions and formal incident command unless separately agreed with appropriately authorized parties.
A guaranteed 24/7 incident-response SLA is outside the initial sprint. That capability should only be offered after delivery capacity, insurance, liability, escalation and on-call coverage are established.
Who can buy it
One technical readiness capability, several existing budget owners
The economic buyer depends on whether the immediate concern is product security, engineering readiness, regulatory evidence or partner delivery.
Product Security / PSIRT
Validate whether vulnerability intelligence, product inventory, ownership and reporting can operate as one timed process.
CISO / Security Engineering
Expose gaps between security detection, incident handling, technical remediation and regulatory evidence.
CTO / Head of Engineering
Clarify engineering handoffs, affected-version mapping and decision ownership before a real event creates deadline pressure.
MSSPs / Integrators
Add a bounded CRA technical-readiness work package without positioning as legal counsel or building a full product-security practice internally.
Commercial ladder
Use the dry run as the entry point—not the end product
The highest-value follow-on work is technical: close evidence gaps, improve vulnerability-to-product mapping, automate workflow steps, strengthen identity/cloud controls and establish repeatable assurance. This keeps the relationship focused on measurable operational outcomes rather than generic compliance consulting.
Test readiness before the first real deadline
Run one scenario and find the bottlenecks while there is still time to fix them.
Share the product scope, current vulnerability/incident process and the teams involved. Enki Tech will confirm whether a bounded CRA Incident Reporting Readiness Sprint is the right first step.
