Z-CMS makes RED DA compliance much less daunting and frustrating. We created our first technical file manually before purchasing the tool, but we discarded it and started over once we understood Z-CMS's capabilities.
P. McGrotty

Z-CMS provided clear, structured guidance in understanding EN18031 and its requirements. The tool is intuitive, reduces the need for manual documentation, and streamlines the key steps of the EN18031 compliance analysis and documentation process.
L. Wilhelm
Head of Embedded Systems Development
" 
Thanks to the Q&A structure of Z-CMS, creating our technical documentation became significantly easier. Beyond the software itself, the quick support and the insightful discussions around the EN 18031 standards were extremely valuable.
M. Lauterbach
Head of Software
" 
The main benefit of Z-CMS is that it is much easier to get started with its question-based approach than to start the technical documentation from scratch with an empty document.

When we initiated our compliance project for the RED Delegated Act, navigating the requirements of EN 18031 and translating them into concrete, structured technical documentation proved to be a complex and time-consuming task. The standards require a comprehensive and well-documented approach covering interfaces, network functions, security mechanisms, and vulnerability management, which can quickly become difficult to manage without a structured methodology.By adopting the Z-CMS tool, we were able to implement a structured and systematic approach to compliance. The tool enabled us to map our complete and complex product portfolio in a clear and traceable manner, ensuring that all required elements—such as software components, interfaces, and security functions—were properly documented and aligned with EN 18031 expectations.A key outcome of this approach was the successful generation of a complete technical documentation set, which was submitted to the certification body. The documentation was accepted by the certification agency without any comments, resulting in a smooth and efficient certification process. Based on this experience, we highly recommend the Z-CMS tool for organizations working towards EN 18031 compliance. We also look forward to the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) features, as they will further support extending this successful approach to future regulatory requirements.
