CRA is your responsibility. Managing It doesn’t have to be.

Cybersecurity is now part of your product responsibility

CRA makes product teams responsible for connectivity security across the entire lifecycle - from design to retirement. If you define the architecture, this responsibility sits with you.

The right partner can help carry that responsibility forward.

Owning connectivity alone increases long‑term risk

Legacy and in-house gateways weren’t designed for regulated security, ongoing updates, or long-term documentation. Trying to manage this internally often leads to growing maintenance effort and unclear ownership.

Partnering reduces risk, effort, and internal friction.

From compliance burden to supported solution

With HMS as your connectivity partner, CRA readiness doesn’t have to mean redesigning your product or managing everything internally. Through the Anybus product portfolio, HMS supports both gateway and embedded connectivity solutions - Built for industrial use, long-term security, and lifecycle management.

Use the checklist to understand where you stand today.
