Prepare connected radio products for EU market access with guided RED cybersecurity scoping, product risk assessment, EN 18031 requirements mapping and structured evidence planning through Cyberexpert by QIMA.
Meeting RED cybersecurity requirements for network protection, personal data and privacy, and fraud protection can be complex, especially when product information, supplier inputs, technical documentation and evidence are spread across teams. Cyberexpert helps you scope the product, assess cybersecurity risks and prepare evidence aligned with EN 18031.
EN 18031 gap analysis
RED Article 3(3)(d), (e), and (f) applicability and cybersecurity risk assessment
Technical documentation and evidence review
Expert review and cybersecurity testing
Remediation planning and readiness outputs
Cyberexpert is built for the practical readiness work that happens before formal conformity assessment, testing, and completion of the product’s technical documentation.
Identify whether RED Article 3(3)(d), 3(3)(e), or 3(3)(f) may apply to your product.
Map device, app, cloud, update, and data flows into a product-specific cybersecurity scope.
Translate EN 18031 requirements and assessment criteria into product-specific actions your engineering and compliance teams can review together.
Build a risk assessment tied to assets, interfaces, threat scenarios, controls, and evidence.
Create an evidence checklist for technical documentation, expert review, or lab preparation.
Reduce late rework by finding missing security decisions before launch pressure peaks.
For internet-connected radio equipment, assess how the product protects networks and avoids misuse of network resources that could cause unacceptable degradation of service.
Map the personal, traffic, and location data processed through the device, app, cloud services, and relevant interfaces. Consider whether the product is internet-connected radio equipment or belongs to another relevant category, such as childcare, toy or wearable radio equipment.
Identify whether internet-connected radio equipment enables the holder or user to transfer money, monetary value or virtual currency, and determine what fraud-protection evidence is required.
Use the assessment to identify evidence needs such as architecture and data-flow diagrams, access-control documentation, secure update workflows, configuration information, user documentation, component information, security decisions, justifications and relevant testing or review records.
Document why a requirement is applicable, not applicable, fulfilled or still open, together with the supporting evidence or justification.
Use Cyberexpert for structured self-assessment and readiness work. Add QIMA or CCLab expert review, accredited testing or support for a RED Notified Body assessment when the conformity route or product risk requires it.
Find software, interface & config weaknesses; document findings and remediation.
Exposed services, remote access, debug interfaces & product boundaries.
Risk outputs, assets, evidence & justifications, technical documentation.
Specialist evaluation where architecture, attack surface or route requires it.
IoT and connected product manufacturers
For manufacturers managing cybersecurity scope across devices, companion apps, backend services, data flows, and firmware updates.
Wireless module integrators and combined equipment manufacturers
For teams determining where supplier evidence can be reused and where product-level assessment is still required.
Telecom and radio equipment manufacturers
For manufacturers managing radio functions, network interfaces, remote access, update mechanisms, and technical documentation.
Compliance, product security, engineering and QA teams
For cross-functional teams that need one shared workflow for requirements, decisions, risks, and evidence.
Radio functions, interfaces, data, users, deployment & connected services.
Relevant RED 3(3) & EN 18031 parts, then a product-specific risk assessment.
Map requirements to controls, docs, supplier inputs & evidence owners.
Identify missing controls, documentation, justifications & test evidence.
RED cybersecurity work fails when teams collect product data too late or treat EN 18031 as a flat checklist. Cyberexpert turns product details into assessment-ready answers.
Purpose-built for RED cybersecurity and EN 18031 readiness. Built for connected radio products, not generic IT compliance checklists.
Assessor-ready structure for scope, risks, justifications, and evidence references.
Shared workflow for compliance, product security, engineering, QA, and release teams.
Optional expert review and testing pathways through the QIMA and CCLab ecosystem.
How does Cyberexpert help with RED cybersecurity compliance?
Cyberexpert turns RED cybersecurity and EN 18031 into a practical, product-specific workflow. It helps teams scope what applies across the device, app and backend, assess risks, map relevant requirements, and organize the evidence and justifications needed for technical documentation.
Where needed, your work can also be reviewed by CCLab experts and progressed to a testing pathway.
Can Cyberexpert help determine whether my product is in scope?
Yes. Cyberexpert guides you through your product architecture, radio functionality, connectivity, data use and interfaces to create an initial applicability summary.
It helps identify the RED cybersecurity areas and EN 18031 standard(s) that may apply. The manufacturer remains responsible for confirming the final scope and conformity route.
How does Cyberexpert support EN 18031 compliance?
Cyberexpert translates applicable EN 18031 requirements into product-specific requirements, a structured risk assessment and an evidence checklist.
It gives product, engineering and compliance teams a shared place to document controls, evidence and justifications early, while design decisions are still flexible.
What do I get from a free Cyberexpert assessment?
The free assessment gives you initial EN 18031 product scoping and a risk assessment. It helps you understand which requirement areas are likely relevant and what your team should investigate next.
More detailed requirements mapping, evidence checklists and documentation support are available as you move into full readiness work.
Does Cyberexpert replace a conformity assessment or Notified Body review?
No. Cyberexpert is a readiness and structured self-assessment platform. It helps your team prepare a clear, traceable body of evidence, but it does not replace the manufacturer’s legal responsibility, formal conformity assessment, or a Notified Body assessment where one is required.
How long does a Cyberexpert assessment take?
Initial product scoping can often be completed in around one hour when basic product and architecture information is available.
A complete readiness assessment may take longer, depending on product complexity, variants, interfaces and the evidence already available.
Can Cyberexpert help us prepare for the CRA?
Cyberexpert supports early CRA preparation by helping teams document product cybersecurity decisions, risks, requirements, evidence and vulnerability-management information in a structured workflow.
Its current core workflow focuses on RED cybersecurity and EN 18031 readiness, while CRA-specific capabilities are being developed. RED cybersecurity work can provide a strong foundation, but it does not by itself demonstrate CRA compliance. CRA scope, lifecycle obligations and reporting duties must be assessed separately.
