Launching managed CRA Article 14 reporting for open source maintainers

Starting September 11, 2026, the European Cyber Resilience Act Article 14 requires open-source maintainers and software manufacturers to report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours and severe security incidents within 72 hours to the European Union Single Reporting Platform. Patchstack has launched a managed compliance service allowing maintainers to designate the company as their Assigned Representative to handle these reporting obligations automatically, with built-in tracking of active exploitation across their software ecosystem.

Why it matters: Open-source maintainers in Europe face new legal obligations under CRA Article 14 with tight reporting deadlines starting today; using a managed reporting service can prevent missed deadlines and regulatory enforcement action by automating vulnerability and incident notification to authorities.
