CRA-readiness evidence workflows for connected products

PAXECT helps connected-product teams move from local evidence capture to Readiness Reports, supplier follow-up, remediation guidance and customer-approved follow-up in one structured workflow.

Evidence-first. Reviewable. Built for product and security teams.

Visual overview of what happens after a CRA Readiness Report: evidence capture, Readiness Report, customer review, follow-up routes, boundaries and sources.
A Readiness Report is a decision point, not an endpoint.

The evidence gap behind connected products

Connected products are becoming harder to explain, document and defend. Firmware, software, apps, supplier-managed components, update paths, vulnerability-handling information and support expectations can sit across different teams, tools and partners.

Many organisations know they need stronger CRA-readiness, but their evidence is often scattered: product context in one place, supplier answers in another, technical findings in reports and follow-up decisions in emails or meetings.

PAXECT helps turn that scattered picture into a structured evidence workflow, so teams can see what was reviewed, what is missing, which supplier questions need follow-up and where remediation guidance or customer-approved follow-up may be needed.

Evidence, reports and follow-up in one workflow

The workflow brings together local evidence capture, Cloud Workspace review, Readiness Reports, supplier follow-up, remediation guidance and customer-approved follow-up routes.

Scanner Box

Supports controlled local technical evidence capture for supported connected-product contexts. It is the controlled evidence appliance, not a generic scanner.

Cloud Workspace

Gives customers one place to review Readiness Reports, evidence history, supplier follow-up and status across the product workflow.

Readiness Reports

Show what was reviewed, which findings exist, what evidence is available and what still needs follow-up.

Supplier Requests

Help teams turn missing supplier information into structured follow-up questions instead of loose emails or undocumented gaps.

Remediation Guidance

Translates findings into reviewable next steps, evidence needs and decision support. Guidance does not automatically change products, firmware or software.

Managed Remediation

A separate customer-approved follow-up route after guidance. No action starts without explicit scope, approval and control.

How the controlled workflow fits together

1

Capture locally

The Scanner Box supports controlled local evidence capture for connected products where supported.

2

Protect and transfer

PAXECT AEAD protects customer-sensitive report and evidence payloads before PAXECT Link transfers them through the controlled evidence flow.

3

Review in the Cloud Workspace

Customers can bring reports, evidence history, status, supplier requests and follow-up context into one control environment.

4

Follow up responsibly

Remediation Guidance helps turn findings into reviewable next steps. Any managed route remains gated and customer-approved.

Supported evidence contexts

The workflow can support selected connected-product technical contexts when the product, file type and approved review route fit.

— Firmware images
— Embedded Linux / OpenWrt-style firmware
— Connected-device software context
— Package inventory / SBOM context
— Supplier-provided technical files
— Selected Android or app evidence paths

Support depends on the product, file, technical context and approved workflow. Not every device, operating system, file type or product category is automatically supported. This is CRA-readiness evidence and reporting preparation; it is not CRA certification or a compliance guarantee.

Practical for smaller and growing teams

Designed for smaller and growing connected-product organisations that need practical evidence, reporting and follow-up without turning CRA-readiness into a heavy enterprise compliance project from day one.

Start with practical evidence structure

Teams can organise local evidence, Readiness Reports, supplier requests and follow-up without immediately building a large internal compliance or cybersecurity team.

PAXECT is built for practical CRA-readiness for smaller connected-product teams, with credit-based use and focused cost control.

Clear boundaries

Evidence workflows and guidance only. No CRA certification, ISO certification, legal advice or compliance guarantee. PAXECT does not replace legal review, conformity assessment, customer responsibility or manufacturer/importer responsibility. Products, firmware and software are not automatically fixed; any approved action requires explicit customer scope and approval.
