Ensuring TSA Compliance with Cloud ACS: A Proven Partner for UK ISPs
The UK’s Telecoms Security Act (TSA) is introducing stricter security requirements for public telecommunications networks and service providers. As UK telecoms providers work towards meeting these new regulations, choosing a trusted and compliant infrastructure partner is essential. AVSystem’s Cloud ACS, hosted on Google Cloud, provides a secure and compliant solution that helps ISPs navigate TSA requirements smoothly.
Understanding the Telecoms Security Act (TSA)
The TSA sets out overarching security duties for UK telecom providers, ensuring they adhere to the Electronic Communications (Security Measures) Regulations. These regulations require providers to submit evidence to Ofcom, demonstrating their compliance with security measures. The UK government has also introduced the Telecoms Security Code of Practice, offering detailed technical guidance for telecoms providers.
While the TSA regulations apply directly to UK telecom providers, it is crucial that their third-party suppliers, including cloud service providers, align with these security expectations. Google Cloud has proactively created a TSA Compliance Guide, mapping its infrastructure capabilities against the Code of Practice measures. This guide assists telecoms providers in assessing Google Cloud’s security standards and understanding how its solutions support TSA compliance.
