CRA compliance toolkit for solo/indie EU software sellers

A one-person German GmbH selling firmware discovers the EU Cyber Resilience Act applies to them with no size exemption, requiring a technical file, declaration of conformity, CE marking, 10-year update availability, and ongoing vulnerability reporting. There are no indie-focused resources. A guided compliance/documentation tool for micro software vendors would save them legal reading and drafting time.

The problem

Small and one-person software vendors selling into the EU must produce a technical file, CE declaration of conformity, and handle 10-year update/reporting obligations, but the official guidance is an 80-page regulation plus a 67-example Commission document. They must piece this together themselves with no affordable indie-oriented tooling or templates.

What could be built

A web app that generates CRA-required documents (technical file, declaration of conformity, vulnerability handling/reporting templates) via a guided questionnaire, tracks support-period and reporting deadlines per product, and alerts on when updates must remain available.

Who it's for

One-person or micro software/firmware companies selling into the EUSolo developers shipping commercial software to EU customers
