What's inside

Five pages, zero fluff

Every figure in this guide traces to a named source — verified 2026 publications.

The reporting clock

The reporting clock: 24h early warning, 72h notification, 14-day/1-month final reports — live since Sep 11, 2026.

The device exclusion

The device exclusion: medical devices sit under MDR/IVDR — your MDR cybersecurity program is your EU regime.

The boundary cases

The boundary cases: separately marketed software components and open-source stacks can fall in scope.
