What is eSA?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The embedded UICC (eUICC) is an evolution of SIM technology and key to consumer and IoT-driven digital transformation. So robust security is paramount to protect both operator services and customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve introduced a rigorous security assurance scheme. If you\u2019re a supplier of eUICCs, it lets you demonstrate that your hardware and software is secure and compliant with GSMA eSIM specifications. Or if you\u2019re relying on them for your network, service or product, it lets you assess that security \u2013 quickly and reliably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important for your business? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because eSIM connectivity relies on GSMA Specifications, any eSIM must be designed to meet those specifications to ensure interoperability \u2013 with any network or service platform it might interact with across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eSA sets out these universal security certificate for all hardware and software developers, based on the Common Criteria approach. Yet crucially, it\u2019s more condensed \u2013 making it faster and more efficient for your business to gain or check security assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
