| [open-regulatory-compliance] Fwd: ENISA call for feedback, Cyberstand and CEN-CENELEC webinars |
Dear CRA Network,
Please find below some updates of relevance to CRA implementation and supply chain security more in general.
ENISA Call for Feedback: Advancing Software Supply Chain Security together
ENISA published a call for feedback on two draft documents that are not directly related to the implementation of the CRA, but that may be of interest to you and your organisations.
The first is a draft guidance for implementing Software Bill of Materials practices within organisations of varying sizes and capabilities. The second is a draft technical advisory for the secure use of package managers.
The documents, as well as the EU Survey to provide feedback, can be accessed at this link. The call for feedback will remain open until 23 January 2025.
Cyberstand funding to review standards
The EU-funded project Cyberstand.eu has launched a specific service procedure to fund experts to review draft European standards to support the CRA that are currently under development.
This funding round is specifically dedicated to reviewing standards from the perspective of SMEs, to identify where the text may create unnecessary burdens for them or where clarity, feasibility, or proportionality can be improved.
You can review the call and apply for funding by 16 January here.
