Why STIR/SHAKEN Compliance Can’t Wait — And How Sangoma Makes It Easy
The FCC has made it official: voice service providers must now use their own SPC tokens and certificates to sign outbound calls under the STIR/SHAKEN framework. As of December, relying on third-party certificates is no longer enough. With the enforcement deadline landing on June 20, 2025, the pressure is on — especially since more than half of providers are still not compliant
At Sangoma, we’ve seen firsthand how complex and frustrating this compliance process can be. That’s why we’ve partnered with Sansay to deliver STIR/SHAKEN Express — a fully hosted, rapidly deployable solution that helps providers get compliant quickly, with zero infrastructure headaches. It’s fast, it’s reliable, and it’s built to address not just today’s FCC rules, but what’s coming next.
Compliance Without Complexity
Let’s face it — updating your infrastructure or hosted PBX software to meet STIR/SHAKEN requirements can be risky. Any misstep introduces service instability, and time is not on your side. STIR/SHAKEN Express eliminates those risks. With Sangoma, there’s no need to re-engineer your network. We handle the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
We’ve implemented our solution to be as hands-off as possible. From initial setup to daily operations, Sangoma removes the burden of managing compliance. Your outbound traffic is signed using your unique certificate, and we take care of attestation, certificate management, and Do Not Originate (DNO) enforcement — all under one roof.
Why This Isn’t “Set It and Forget It”
STIR/SHAKEN compliance isn’t something you can check off and walk away from. It’s a living, breathing process. Regulations are evolving. Best practices shift. And the consequences of falling out of compliance? Severe. We’re talking about traffic blocking, fines, or worse — total delisting from the Robocall Mitigation Database.
That’s why Sangoma offers 24/7 support and proactive monitoring. We’re not just a service provider — we’ve partnered with Sansay, a Certificate Authority (STI-CA) as well. That means we’re uniquely equipped to guide you through every step, from certificate provisioning to ongoing attestation management. When you partner with Sangoma, you’re never left guessing.
