GSMA SAS-SM

The GSM Association (GSMA) is the global organization that represents more than 1150 mobile operators and companies across the mobile ecosystem. Its membership consists of handset and device makers, software companies, equipment providers, internet companies and organizations in adjacent industry sectors. The GSMA’s Security Accreditation Scheme for Subscription Management (SAS-SM) ensures industry confidence in the security of cloud-hosted eSIM platforms. eSIM platforms allow for the remote provisioning of subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles, secured via a connected device’s embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC).

Google Cloud is certified by the GSMA under SAS-SM to provide Data Center Operations and Management (DCOM) services across all Google Cloud regions.

Google Cloud complies with all applicable requirements and guidelines of the ‘SAS - Consolidated Security Requirements and Guidelines - Version 11.0’ and the ‘GSMA SAS Standard for Subscription Manager Roles - Version 4.1’. This includes requirements related to the provision of ‘HSM Managed Services’, enabled through Cloud Key Management Service and Cloud HSM. Cloud HSM's approach to partitioning, cryptographic isolation, and FIPS certification were deemed to be compliant with SAS-SM requirements and fit for customer use, meaning Google Cloud customers gain access to a modern, cloud-hosted HSM solution to enable their eSIM platforms.

Google Cloud’s GSMA certification joins its growing telecommunications portfolio and gives customers access to the latest in AI/ ML technologies and advanced networking services. To find out more about Google Cloud for Telecommunications, see our solutions page.
