What is SAS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most important security element for every mobile device is the SIM card \u2013 whether it\u2019s a UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) or an eUICC (embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a supplier of UICCs\/eUICCs, or a subscription management service, you need to demonstrate that your environment and processes are secure. And if you\u2019re procuring cards, you need to assess that security \u2013 both reliably and cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAS enables this through two standardised global audits \u2013 one for UICC\/eUICC suppliers and one for subscription management service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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