Threat modeling and risk assessment under the CRA

Find the threats before an attacker does – and use them to back your CRA compliance.

The CRA requires a product to be designed and developed based on a cybersecurity risk assessment. Threat modeling and risk assessment are that basis – they show what can go wrong, how serious it is and which countermeasures make sense.

We guide you through structured threat modeling (e.g. using STRIDE) and risk rating, and turn the results into concrete design requirements and into the technical documentation the CRA requires.

What you get

Product threat model

Identification of assets, entry points, trust boundaries and threats (e.g. using STRIDE) for your architecture.

Risk assessment and rating

Analysis of likelihood and impact, risk rating and prioritisation using a clear methodology.

Countermeasure design

Concrete recommendations for security by design and secure defaults, linked to the threats identified.

Evidence for Annex I

Documentation of how the countermeasures meet the essential requirements of CRA Annex I, ready for the technical documentation.

How it works

  1. 01

    Input gathering

    We go through the product architecture, data, interfaces and the expected deployment environment.

  2. 02

    Threat modeling

    We build the threat model, identify risks and rate them by impact and likelihood.

  3. 03

    Countermeasures and report

    We propose countermeasures, prioritise them and hand over a report usable in the CRA documentation.

Outcomes for you

  • An overview of the product's real threats and risks
  • Prioritised countermeasures for the design
  • Documented fulfilment of Annex I requirements
  • A solid basis for the technical documentation

Frequently asked questions

Which threat modeling method do you use?
Most often STRIDE for systematic coverage of threat categories, optionally complemented by attack trees or other approaches depending on the product. We choose the method based on your architecture and your team's maturity.
Do we even have to do a risk assessment under the CRA?
Yes. The CRA requires a product to be designed and developed based on a cybersecurity risk assessment that is part of the technical documentation. Without it you cannot credibly demonstrate fulfilment of the essential requirements.
Does it connect to other services?
Yes. You use the outputs directly when preparing the technical documentation and when setting up the vulnerability handling process – we are happy to continue with those.
