With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) becoming applicable in december 2027, industrial cybersecurity is shifting from a recommendation to a legal requirement. At the same time, no harmonized certification standard has been finalized yet, which means many organizations need to act proactively rather than wait for formal guidance.
At RT-Labs, we are already working to future-proof our development processes by aligning our industrial communication solutions with the security requirements of IEC 62443-4.
This includes IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-4-2. Our goal is to stay ahead of upcoming regulatory demands while strengthening product security from the ground up.
Our process is currently under formal review by RISE, further reinforcing our commitment to transparency, credibility, and continuous improvement in cybersecurity.
As implementation approaches, organizations are under increasing pressure to strengthen their cybersecurity posture and prepare for forthcoming compliance obligations. Starting early with secure development practices such as IEC 62443-4-1 and technical security requirements such as IEC 62443-4-2 can help reduce compliance risks, improve product security, and build long-term trust with customers and partners.
We see internationally recognized standards such as IEC 62443-4 as a strategic advantage, not just a regulatory obligation. By investing in standards-based security today, companies can enhance the resilience of their industrial systems while building more reliable and competitive products for the future.
RT-Labs work with IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-4-2 reflects our commitment to helping customers meet both current and future cybersecurity and regulatory expectations.
