Media & Entertainment Industry Solution

The Trusted Partner Network, founded in April 2018, achieves the goal of One-Industry One-Audit and is a collaboration between two long standing M&E organizations: 

• MPA (Motion Picture Association)
• CDSA (Content Delivery & Security Association)

A high-level explanation of how the TPN operates is explained in the following steps:

• MPA publishes Content Security Best Practices
• TPN certifies TPN Assessors to perform vendor risk assessments based on the MPA's Best practices
• Vendors choose a certified TPN Assessor to perform the TPN Assessment
• TPN collects the TPN Assessments in a central database
• Major content producers can view the database and select vendors based on their TPN Assessment report
