{"package_name":"com.samsung.android.scpm","label":"Samsung Cloud Platform Manager","device_count":44,"observation_count":67,"user_facing_count":0,"first_seen":"2025-05-05T17:48:10Z","last_seen":"2026-09-18T01:54:07Z","guidance":{"summary":"A Samsung system component with no launcher entry in any observation on this site, and an unsettled label. Devices here report it as \"Samsung Cloud Assistant\" most often, as \"Samsung Cloud Platform Manager\" on a smaller number of observations, and on three observations as \"Samsung account storage Assistant\", with the same split visible inside a single locale rather than being a translation difference (\"Assistente Samsung Cloud\", \"Asistente de Samsung Cloud\" and \"Asystent Samsung Cloud\" are simply the localised forms of the first). It is preinstalled, Samsung-signed with a certificate this site also records as signing the framework, and marked Play-eligible on 13 of its 63 observations, so unlike much of the Samsung image it can be updated through a store on at least some devices. Samsung publishes no package-level documentation for it.\n\nStart with what the name does not settle. \"SCPM\" is not a reliable guide here, because Samsung uses the same abbreviation for something else: its own Common Criteria mode application lists record a row called \"SCPM Client\" whose package is com.samsung.android.sm.policy, a different component entirely. This note therefore does not expand the abbreviation or assume the two are related.\n\nWhat the manifest does establish is the area it works in. It is tied to the Samsung account (com.samsung.android.samsungaccount.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER, com.osp.app.signin.BROADCAST_PERMISSION and GET_ACCOUNTS_PRIVILEGED), and it declares two permissions associated by name with push messaging, com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE and com.sec.spp.permission.SEND, the latter named for Samsung Push Service (com.sec.spp.push), documented separately on this site. That suggests it expects to be reachable remotely, but it is inference from the permission names rather than a sourced fact. It reaches the network, and it declares an unusually security-weighted set for a background service: com.samsung.android.knox.permission.KNOX_CCM_KEYSTORE, com.samsung.android.security.permission.SAMSUNG_KEYSTORE_PERMISSION, com.samsung.android.kmxservice.permission.EDP and ESCROW_VAULT_SERVICE, and com.samsung.android.permission.E2EE_SUPPORT. It also declares READ_SCPM, WRITE_SCPM and SCPM_CLEAR_DATA in Samsung's permission namespace, plus DETECT_SCREEN_CAPTURE, REAL_GET_TASKS, START_ACTIVITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND, FOREGROUND_SERVICE and WAKE_LOCK. That is the profile of an account-linked, remotely reachable service handling data it expects to keep encrypted. What it actually stores or transmits is not documented by Samsung and is not asserted here.\n\nVersion note: this does not appear to be a long-standing part of the Samsung image. It is absent from every Samsung Common Criteria mode application list checked here, covering Oreo, Android 10 and Android 11, and the earliest observation on this site is at API 33. The sample runs API 33 to 37 with versions 7.0.00.33 to 9.0.07.2, target SDKs 33 to 36 and package sizes from roughly 13.0 MB to 17.7 MB. Read together that points to it arriving around Android 13, though the exact release could not be sourced. The version series starting at 7 rather than 1 suggests it carries a lineage from something earlier, and the shifting label suggests the product it belongs to has been renamed at least once; neither could be sourced, and both are flagged here rather than described as settled.\n\nFor Android Enterprise, EMM and kiosk use it has no documented role in enrolment or policy enforcement. The practical read is that its work is account-linked, so on a fleet where no Samsung account is signed in there is less for it to do, but that is an expectation rather than a sourced fact. Weighing against removal: it is signed with a framework-signing certificate, it declares Knox keystore and escrow permissions that suggest it is wired into other Samsung services, and Samsung documents nothing about what in turn depends on it. Where a Samsung preinstalled app genuinely has to go, Samsung documents blocking it by package name through Knox Manage's application policies rather than removing it; test on a single device before applying it to a fleet.","safe_to_disable":"caution","sources":[{"title":"Galaxy S21+ 5G (SM-G996B, Android 11) Common Criteria mode application list - Samsung Knox
