Regulatory Compliance & Reporting
Regulatory requirements share a common demand: know what is in your software, track vulnerabilities, and report them on time. TrustSource automates the evidence base for CRA, NIS2 and MDR compliance — from SBOM to machine-readable advisory.
At a Glance
The Challenge
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires manufacturers of products with digital elements to actively report exploited vulnerabilities and serious security incidents — within tight deadlines. The NIS2 Directive extends these obligations to critical infrastructure and essential entities across 18 sectors. The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) sets comparable requirements for software in medical devices. All three frameworks share one prerequisite: without complete, audit-ready documentation of the software components in use and their vulnerabilities, timely reporting is simply not possible.
What TrustSource delivers
TrustSource creates the data foundation that makes reporting obligations fulfillable: a complete, automatically updated SBOM for every software product, continuous monitoring for new vulnerabilities, and a traceable audit trail of all changes. When a vulnerability arises, it is immediately clear which products are affected, how severe the risk is, and when it was detected — everything regulators expect in a disclosure.

EACG as gCNA — Support without your own PSIRT
EACG — the company behind TrustSource — is one of Europe's first Global CVE Numbering Authorities (gCNA ID: 102). This means EACG can assign CVE identifiers and take over vulnerability coordination. Companies that have not yet built their own PSIRT can outsource the coordination function to EACG and still report in compliance with CRA and NIS2.

Regulatory compliance is not just about internal documentation — it also requires structured communication with external parties: security researchers report vulnerabilities in, customers and authorities must be informed out. TrustSource supports both directions.
Inbound: Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure
A structured CVD process is mandatory under the CRA. TrustSource's CVD product provides a dedicated intake channel for vulnerability reports — with a full workflow for coordinating and documenting each incoming report, compliant with ISO 29147.

Advisories must reach customers and authorities in machine-readable form. The CSAF Trusted Provider generates and distributes advisories in CSAF format automatically — via a CSAF-compliant distribution network, without manual effort.
