Tester in the spotlight: The OCCTET Toolkit in practice

As the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) moves from legislation to obligation, SMEs and open-source developers face a pressing question: how do you actually meet these new requirements in practice? OCCTET is building an open-source toolkit to help answer exactly that — from generating Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to detecting vulnerabilities and running CRA self-assessments.

In the first edition of our “Tester in the Spotlight” series, we hand the microphone to someone putting the OCCTET tooling through its paces in a real-world setting. Dr. Bernd Prünster of A-SIT Plus shares his hands-on experience testing the toolkit: what works, what surprised him, and what it means for organisations preparing for CRA compliance.

Whether you’re an SME navigating the CRA, an open-source maintainer, or a developer curious about practical compliance tooling, this session offers a candid, ground-level view you won’t find in the documentation.

What you will take away:

  • SME assessment of the OCCTET toolkit in action;
  •  Real-world insights for CRA readiness;
  •  A clearer picture of how open-source tooling can ease the compliance burden for SMEs.
