Blueprint

PatchClock CRA Compliance Retainer Build (7-10 days)

Stand up a repeatable PatchClock workspace that turns Composer and npm lock files into CycloneDX SBOMs, CVE alerts, support period pages and Article 14 incident drafts, then resell it as a monthly CRA compliance retainer to PHP vendors shipping into the EU.

Prerequisites
  • Client product repositories with composer.lock and package-lock.json committed and tagged releases in use
  • Named client owner for security disclosure and a domain where security.txt can be hosted
  • Agreed support period per product version, since PatchClock publishes it on a customer-readable page
  • Agency workspace on the Agency plan at 79 € per month (20 products, 15 team members) or a Founding member offer seat at 15.83 € per month for a single pilot
  • Incident escalation contacts so the 24-hour, 72-hour and 14-day Article 14 clocks have a human on the other end
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Register the agency workspace and run the free CRA readiness check against a test product website
  • 2.Connect an optional public GitHub repository to confirm lock file visibility before client onboarding
  • 1.Onboard the first client product and verify composer.lock and package-lock.json are read on tagged releases
  • 2.Declare the support period per version so the public support period page renders correctly
  • 1.Trigger a test release and confirm the CycloneDX SBOM regenerates on the tag
  • 2.Check CVE alert routing reaches the agency triage inbox and the client security contact
  • 1.Publish the hosted security.txt and disclosure policy on the client domain
  • 2.Set the renewal reminder so the copy on the client's own site does not expire unnoticed
  • 1.Walk the client through the incident runbook with the 24-hour, 72-hour and 14-day clocks
  • 2.Draft one Article 14 incident report in PatchClock as a dry run and review it with the client
  • 1.Repeat product onboarding for the remaining client products within the plan's product allowance
  • 2.Map each product to its CVE alert owner and escalation path
  • 1.Write the retainer scope: monthly SBOM review, CVE triage response window, incident drafting turnaround
  • 2.Document the handoff guide covering alert triage and SBOM review cadence
  • 1.Run a live CVE drill: confirm a locked dependency hit triggers an alert and a triage note
  • 2.Record the drill outcome as evidence for the client's compliance file
  • 1.Package the offer page and pricing for the retainer, referencing the 79 € per month Agency plan economics
  • 2.Brief the delivery team on the PatchClock admin panels they will operate
  • 1.Hand over credentials and the runbook, then schedule the first monthly SBOM review
  • 2.Confirm the client signs off on the support period page and security.txt as published
$2,500 to $4,500 per client engagement, against a tool cost of 79 € per month for the Agency plan (20 products, 15 team members) or 15.83 € per month on the Founding member offer for a single pilot product7-10 days
ROI Logic

One Agency plan seat at 79 € per month covers 20 products and 15 team members, so an agency running three to five mid-market PHP clients on that single plan spreads the tool cost across every retainer. A $2,500 to $4,500 setup fee plus a monthly retainer recovers the subscription in the first billing cycle, and each additional client product onboarded adds retainer revenue without adding a new PatchClock plan.

Deliverables
  • Configured PatchClock workspace with client repositories connected and CycloneDX SBOM generation verified on tagged releases
  • Published support period page, security.txt and disclosure policy on each client domain
  • CVE alert routing map naming the agency triage owner and client escalation contact per product
  • Article 14 incident runbook with the 24-hour, 72-hour and 14-day clocks and one drafted dry-run report
  • Monthly SBOM review and CVE triage retainer scope document with response windows
Definition of Done

A tagged release on each client product regenerates a CycloneDX SBOM in PatchClock, a CVE alert reaches the named triage owner, and a drafted Article 14 report sits ready against the 24-hour clock.
