eUICC Security Assurance (eSA)

eUICC manufacturers, hardware  and software developers

Demonstrating security assurance via eSA is the gateway to the GSMA eSIM ecosystem – and essential due diligence for operators, service providers and device manufacturers investing in eSIM solutions. So it provides many benefits:

• Presence on global accredited supplier list boosts business opportunities – being preferred by your customers’ procurement teams.

• Gives you global assurance – security assurance from the world’s leading mobile connectivity association demonstrates your commitment to security and reduces risks for customers.

• Supports speed to market – streamlined accreditation process and appearance on accredited suppliers list enables rapid deployment.

• One accreditation to meet industry expectations – fewer individual inspections from your different customers.

• Expert guidance – rigorous security review highlights potential security, interoperability and compliance requirements.

Mobile operators

Every operator who passes a test, gets a pass certificate. 

• Whether you’re a Mobile Network Operator or a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, you need absolute confidence that data is secure, assets are protected and services work as intended on all relevant eSIM devices.
• The only way to ensure this is when eSIM entities fully comply with GSMA specifications and requirements. eSA is a key element of this:
• Have confidence that you’re choosing an eUICC provider that complies with the GSMA’s rigorous global security standard.
• Be sure of global interoperability.
• Build protections across the entire eSIM ecosystem – insisting on eSA certification encourages a security by design culture.
• Give peace of mind to investors and stakeholders – eSA requires deep supplier commitment and detailed accreditation conducted by highly qualified independent licensed laboratories.
• Cost-free service for mobile operators – avoiding expensive individual security evaluations.
• Supports speed to market – GSMA’s website provides 24/7 visibility of accredited developers and manufacturers so you can make fast, confident decisions.

eSIM device manufacturers

Only eSIM devices with certified eUICC hardware and software will have the confidence of the eSIM community – particularly operators and eSIM service providers who want confidence that their assets are secure and interoperable.

So, give your devices the edge by ensuring your suppliers are fully compliant with the rigorous GSMA eUICC architecture and requirements:

• In a market where GSMA compliance is a critical operating and security requirement, eSA certification is the ultimate assurance for the eUICC installed within the eSIM Devices.

• Ensure security and interoperability of your eSIM Device in any market worldwide.

• Instantly view accredited suppliers, reducing cost and time-to-market by avoiding expensive, time-consuming individual security evaluations.

• Rely on a rigorous security standard with detailed evaluation conducted by highly qualified  licensed laboratories.
• Offers peace of mind to investors and stakeholders with certification from the world’s leading mobile connectivity association

eSIM service providers

Only eUICC and subscription managers that meet the GSMA’s eUICC standards will be able to engage successfully – with the verified authentication exchanges required for global interoperability.

So eSA is essential element of validating eUICC certificates, and successfully managing and deploying subscription services:

• Required for eUICC compliance – part of the GSMA remote SIM provisioning compliance process.

• Gives your clients a global assurance of security and interoperability.

• Enables rapid deployment – with a streamlined accreditation process and appearance on accredited suppliers list.

• One accreditation to meet industry expectations – fewer individual inspections by your different customers.
