Kunnus is a compliance management platform that enables manufacturers of products with digital elements to meet the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Developed by Think Ahead Technologies GmbH in Stuttgart, Germany, Kunnus provides an all in one solution for organizing, documenting, and managing the regulatory obligations introduced by the CRA. Kunnus is covering everything from product classification and SBOM management to vulnerability tracking and audit preparation.
The CRA requires manufacturers to implement cybersecurity measures throughout the entire product lifecycle, from design and development through post market monitoring. Kunnus supports organizations in structuring these processes by centralizing compliance relevant documentation, vulnerability handling, and reporting workflows in a single platform. The regulation affects a broad spectrum of products, including IoT devices, industrial equipment with digital interfaces, RFID enabled items, smart home products, and many other connected products that manufacturers may not immediately associate with cybersecurity regulation. Kunnus automatically generates SBOMs from build processes and continuously monitors all dependencies for new vulnerabilities.
Kunnus is built on a foundation of European digital sovereignty. All data is hosted exclusively within the EU, with no reliance on US based cloud providers or infrastructure. With Kunnus Think Ahead is ensuring full alignment with European data protection standards and giving manufacturers complete control over their compliance data. Think Ahead values open source principles, which is reflected in tools like the Kunnus Scanner, an open source utility available on GitHub that can scan Windows based systems and feed the results directly into the platform. With key CRA deadlines approaching, including mandatory vulnerability reporting from September 2026 and full compliance by December 2027, Kunnus helps manufacturers establish structured compliance processes early. The platform serves any company worldwide that sells products with digital elements within the European Union.
