PAXECT Readiness Box and portal visual for CRA-readiness evidence

Start building CRA-readiness evidence in hours, not months.

PAXECT Readiness helps small and mid-sized manufacturers and importers of connected devices build technical evidence, identify gaps and follow a controlled path from findings to improvement.

A plug-and-play Readiness Box, encrypted transfer to the PAXECT portal, verification-ready reports, Fix Patterns and a controlled fixing route — built for companies without a large product-security team.

No Linux knowledge. No scanner setup. No heavy enterprise implementation.

For selected B2B early adopters in the EU. VAT number required.

B2B screening notice

PAXECT Readiness is a B2B product for organisations that manufacture, import, distribute or manage connected devices in the EU market.

It is not a consumer product, not a hobby scanner and not a general IT scanning tool.

All Early Bird requests are reviewed before access is granted. We may ask for company details, VAT number, product type and intended use case before providing further information or onboarding.

By submitting an Early Bird request, you confirm that you are requesting information on behalf of a business or organisation, not as a private consumer.

Availability

PAXECT Readiness is currently in active product development and is preparing selected B2B Early Access for EU manufacturers, importers and organisations managing connected devices.

This is not an open public sale and there is no public checkout.

Early Access requests are reviewed manually. Product availability, pilot timing and commercial onboarding will be confirmed only after B2B intake, scope review and legal/commercial agreement.

CRA is coming. Smaller manufacturers need practical evidence.

The Cyber Resilience Act introduces new cybersecurity obligations for products with digital elements. Reporting obligations start from 11 September 2026, and the main CRA obligations apply from 11 December 2027.

For many smaller manufacturers and importers, the challenge is practical:

  • no dedicated product-security team
  • no time for complex enterprise implementation
  • limited budget
  • firmware and device evidence scattered across suppliers

A report alone is not enough.

Companies need to prove what is inside a product and show what happens after a finding is discovered: follow-up, validation and audit.

PAXECT Readiness: box-first CRA-readiness for connected devices.

PAXECT Readiness combines a local Readiness Box with a secure cloud environment.

The Readiness Box is designed as a ready-to-use local appliance. During onboarding, it is connected, activated and used to start building technical evidence for connected devices.

Customers do not need Linux knowledge, security tooling experience or a dedicated product-security team to get started.

Live device scan

For Linux-based devices available on the local network.

Firmware image analysis

For firmware files, even when no active device is available.

PAXECT Readiness does not stop at a report.

The report is the evidence layer. The Fix Pattern Library gives a managed route toward improvement. Controlled fixing is available only when approved by the customer.

No automatic changes without approval. No uncontrolled remediation. No “black box” fixing.

What you get

Readiness Box, encrypted transfer, secure cloud archive, verification-ready reports, structured portal, Fix Patterns and a controlled fixing route.

Readiness Box

A dedicated local appliance for scanning and evidence collection. It is designed as a practical business appliance, not as a technical DIY kit.

Encrypted transfer

Reports and scan evidence are transferred from the Readiness Box to the PAXECT environment through a secure, encrypted transfer path.

Secure Cloud Archive

A cloud environment for report archive, scan history, ownership records, audit trail and report fingerprints.

Verification-ready reports

Each official PAXECT report can be linked to the registered Readiness Box, organisation, licence, scan run, report fingerprint and audit trail.

Structured Report Portal

Reports are stored in a structured portal, so customers can keep scan history, findings, fingerprints and audit evidence organised.

Fix Patterns and controlled fixing

Findings are connected to managed Fix Patterns. When fixing is needed and approved, PAXECT supports scoped improvement, validation, rollback path and audit logging.

How it works

Three practical steps from activation to controlled follow-up.

01

Activate your Readiness Box

Receive the PAXECT Readiness Box, connect it to your environment and activate it through your business account.

02

Scan your device or firmware

Scan a live Linux-based device or analyse a firmware image without an active device.

03

Review and act

Review findings, evidence and Fix Patterns in the PAXECT portal. When needed, choose a controlled improvement route.

Why PAXECT is different

PAXECT does not issue legal CRA certification. PAXECT helps build technical evidence, identify gaps and document a controlled route toward improvement.

Early Bird Starter Benefit

Approved B2B Early Bird applicants may receive a personal Early Bird code for €300 in PAXECT scan credits with their first Readiness Box package.

Requests are reviewed manually. The code is not issued automatically and is subject to product fit, availability, onboarding scope and commercial agreement.

EU funding note

European programmes such as SECURE support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises working on cyber resilience and CRA preparation. The first SECURE open call listed a €5 million budget, grants of up to €30,000, and a 50% co-financing model.

PAXECT Readiness may fit into CRA-readiness improvement projects where a company needs scanning, evidence, reporting and follow-up.

Funding eligibility depends on your organisation, project scope, timing and the current programme rules.

FAQ

Short answers for common business questions.

Is PAXECT Readiness for consumers?

No. PAXECT Readiness is a B2B product for organisations that manufacture, import, distribute or manage connected devices in the EU market. Early Bird access is reviewed before approval. A VAT number or other business verification may be required.

When do CRA obligations start?

Reporting obligations for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents start from 11 September 2026. The main CRA obligations apply from 11 December 2027.

Does PAXECT make my product CRA compliant?

No. PAXECT does not issue legal CRA certification. PAXECT helps you build technical evidence, identify gaps, connect findings to Fix Patterns and document a controlled route toward improvement.

Do I need a security team to use PAXECT?

No. PAXECT is designed for smaller manufacturers and importers without a dedicated product-security team.

Is PAXECT Readiness difficult to use?

No. The customer does not need to install Linux, configure scanner tools or manage a complex security platform. The Readiness Box provides the local scan environment, and the portal presents findings, evidence and follow-up steps in a structured way.

Can I use a tablet, Windows laptop or iPad?

Yes, for the web portal. You can view reports and status from a normal browser on a tablet, phone or laptop. Official scanning is done through the registered PAXECT Readiness Box.

Can reports be stored locally?

PAXECT Readiness is designed around a secure cloud report archive, but local report export options are planned for customers who need offline copies for internal records or audits. Local export is intended for report storage only.

Is PAXECT only a scanner?

No. PAXECT Readiness is built around the full route: check → evidence → Fix Pattern → customer decision → controlled fixing → re-check → audit trail. The report is the evidence layer. The product does not stop there.
