🎯 Purpose Statement

Hack23 AB's CRA conformity assessment process demonstrates how systematic regulatory compliance directly enables business growth rather than creating operational burden. Our comprehensive assessment framework serves as both operational tool and client demonstration of our cybersecurity consulting methodologies.

As a cybersecurity consulting company, our approach to CRA compliance becomes a showcase of professional implementation, demonstrating to potential clients how systematic regulatory adherence creates competitive advantages through robust security foundations while enabling EU market access.

Our commitment to transparency means our conformity assessment practices become a reference implementation, showing how comprehensive regulatory compliance enables business expansion while protecting organizational interests and maintaining stakeholder trust.

— James Pether Sörling, CEO/Founder

🔍 Purpose & Scope

This process provides a concise, repeatable CRA Conformity Assessment format (pre‑market & ongoing) for the three initial products (CIA, Black Trigram, CIA Compliance Manager). Aligns with CRA Annex I & V, Hack23 classification, secure development, and transparency policies.

Scope: All products within Asset Register requiring EU market placement.
