How can Machine Manufacturers manage Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) for EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance?

SBOM Management in fter.io CRA Compliance Navigator

fter.io’s CRA Compliance Navigator provides integrated SBOM management for Machine Manufacturers preparing for the EU Cyber Resilience Act. CRA Compliance platform allows companies to generate, manage, and maintain Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) for products with digital elements in a centralized system.

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a structured inventory of all software components used in a digital product. It lists libraries, dependencies, and versions included in the system. For machine manufacturers, an SBOM provides transparency into the software supply chain and supports vulnerability identification, security monitoring, and compliance with regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Within fter.io, manufacturers can document software components, dependencies, and versions across their installed product base. The system keeps SBOM data structured, searchable, and linked to the product lifecycle. With platform Machine Manufacturers ensures that required software inventories remain continuously available and up to date.

The CRA Compliance Navigator also connects SBOM management with vulnerability monitoring and lifecycle documentation. This helps manufacturers identify affected components, track vulnerabilities, and maintain CRA-required documentation.

By managing SBOMs within the platform, fter.io gives machine manufacturers full visibility into their software supply chain and supports CRA compliance across the product lifecycle.
