Finite State Managed Services for CRA Evidence
Bring CRA Work into One Continuous System
Finite State helps manufacturers replace fragmented CRA work with one continuous system grounded in what ships. Connect product analysis, vulnerability context, documentation, and reporting so evidence stays aligned over time.
Grounded in What Ships
Generate software inventory, vulnerability context, and product-linked evidence from firmware, binaries, and product software.
Focused on Real Product Risk
Use exploitability context and VEX support to prioritize what matters most.
Built for Maintained Evidence
Keep documentation, reporting workflows, and technical evidence current as products and risk change.
Less Coordination Overhead
Connect product analysis, vulnerability handling, and documentation in one operating flow.
Faster Time to Readiness
Reach initial CRA deliverables faster without building new internal workflows.
More Defensible Outcomes
Support self-assessment with reviewable artifacts tied to the product and its software.
