Actually while the Lie algebra $su(3) \oplus su(2) \oplus u(1)$ of the standard model is a direct sum of three simple Lie algebras, the gauge group itself appears to be the group $S(U(3) \times U(2))$.

For much more details see the discussion on the web page ''Standard Model Group Structure'' by Tony Smith.
