TPN Assessments

We are TPN Assessment Partners — trusted by Disney, Netflix, Sony, Paramount, Warner Bros and Universal to assess and certify their content supply chain partners.

The Trusted Partner Network (TPN) is the Motion Picture Association's content security programme. TPN assessments are now a commercial requirement for any organisation handling premium content for major studios. We guide companies through the entire process — from initial gap analysis to TPN registered status.

What is a TPN assessment?

A TPN assessment evaluates your organisation's content security posture against the MPA Content Security Best Practices guidelines. It covers physical security, cybersecurity, and workflow controls.

  • Assessment against MPA Content Security Best Practices (Gold Shield or Silver Shield)
  • Evaluation of physical security, network security and operational controls
  • Review of content handling workflows from ingest to delivery
  • Formal assessment report submitted to the TPN registry

Our assessment process

We manage the entire TPN journey — not just the assessment itself.

  • Pre-assessment gap analysis to identify issues before the formal assessment
  • Remediation support to address findings before submission
  • Formal TPN assessment conducted by our accredited assessors
  • TPN registry submission and registration support
  • Post-assessment support for ongoing compliance maintenance

Who needs TPN assessment?

TPN registration is now required or strongly preferred by most major studios for their production, post-production and distribution partners.

  • Post-production facilities handling premium content
  • VFX and animation studios working for major distributors
  • Localisation and dubbing companies
  • Distribution and delivery service providers
  • IT service providers with access to studio environments
