BSI Designated as Central Market Surveillance Authority for EU Cyber Resilience Act (heise.de)

• BSI becomes the main national authority for CRA enforcement
• Standardization of cybersecurity protocols for connected products
• Strengthening national digital resilience through centralized oversight

"The German government has introduced draft legislation to implement the EU's Cyber Resilience Act. The proposal designates the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) as the primary market surveillance authority. This move consolidates regulatory oversight, granting the BSI powers to enforce strict cybersecurity standards on connected devices sold within the German market. By aligning national enforcement with EU-wide requirements, Germany aims to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities and ensure robust compliance for interconnected infrastructure and consumer tech."
