The Eclipse Foundation has recently launched the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group (ORG WG). This working group brings together key stakeholders from industry, small and medium enterprise (SME), research, and open source foundations to help address new government regulations impacting open source communities through education, thought leadership, engaging with relevant institutions, and developing specifications.
One of the initial focuses of the ORC WG is to help open source communities and the broader tech industry better understand and prepare to meet the compliance requirements of the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and of similar upcoming legislation in other jurisdictions. To do so, the ORC WG has created the Cyber Resilience Special Interest Group (SIG). This SIG intends to develop specifications to further its mission. The intention is for the Cyber Resilience Practices Project to host these specifications.
Cyber Resilience Practices provides specifications designed to support compliance with global legislation aimed at enhancing cyber resilience.
The scope of this project is bound by the scope of the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group and its Cyber Resilience Special Interest Group.
The Cyber Resilience Practices Project develops specifications designed to help improve the cyber resilience of open source projects and of the products that incorporate these projects and facilitate compliance with related regulation worldwide.
No known legal issues.
Worth noting that the project is an umbrella for the specification work of the Cyber Resilience SIG of the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group. As such the name of the project is purposefully descriptive and isn't designed to be trademarked.
An Eclipse Foundation Project is the logical home to develop specifications for Eclipse Foundation working groups.
The Project plans to continue addressing industry and community needs related to cyber resilience as they arise with the goal of continuously improving the cyber resilience of open source projects.
The project scheduling is still i the planning phase as it requires careful coordination with the institutions.
