The Charter of Trust welcomes the Commission’s proposal for horizontal rules introducing cybersecurity requirements for connected products. We believe that improving products and software development practices and transparency will benefit the entire cybersecurity ecosystem. Policymakers should, however, ensure seamless and clear application between the CRA and other product-related and cybersecurity legislations to provide more legal certainty to businesses across the supply chain.
