71/100The EU Cyber Resilience Act forces PHP vendors shipping into Europe to produce CycloneDX SBOMs, publish support periods, and file Article 14 incident reports against 24-hour, 72-hour, and 14-day clocks. PatchClock automates all four from Composer and npm lock files, so an agency can sell compliance as a recurring retainer instead of a one-off audit. The Agency plan at 79 € per month covering 20 products and 15 team members lets a single seat carry 3-5 mid-market clients.
