Companies need to conduct cyber risk assessments before a product is put on the market and throughout its lifecycle effectively manage its vulnerabilities, regularly test it, and so on. Products assessed as 'critical' will need to undergo external audits.

I have not read the proposal. Legal language makes me want to rip my own eyes off.

The only winners I see are those security auditors and similar providers.

Privative corpos from USA and China will arrive with all "security assesments" and "auditions" in place, and still have backdoors lol

They prepared a list of software that need mandatory audit , like browsers and all !
