CRA Readiness Isn’t a Checkbox—It’s a Long-Term Strategy

I would say one of the biggest mistakes I see in CRA preparedness is believing that a checkbox effort is going to suffice for any reasonable period of time. Yes. You can check the box. You can fill in the spreadsheet. You can submit your audit, and maybe you'll get through the first round, ten products, whatever the first round looks like for you. But without a process and without technology to support that process, it's it's just not going to scale and be repeatable in a way that you can actually call yourself prepared. This is CRA preparedness is actually laying a groundwork and a foundation to being able to accomplish it. This is not GDPR. You can just bolt on a privacy officer and and some, you know, cookie screens and say you're good to go. I am oversimplifying GDPR there. But at any rate, CRA is is actually asking you to embed into your DNA security. So, I do think you can get by as an organization for the first go around, but that's about it.
