The MPAA said today that it is teaming with the Content Delivery & Security Association on an industrywide content-security initiative. The Trusted Partner Network will help prevent leaks, breaches, and hacks of film and television content by elevating the security standards of the industry’s production and distribution supply chain.
The Tpn provides vendors with a voluntary, cost-effective way to assess the security preparedness of their facilities, staffs and workflows against industry best practices. Vendors who complete a Tpn assessment then are published in a directory of “trusted partners” accessible to content owners and producers worldwide.
“Creating the films and television shows enjoyed by audiences around the world increasingly requires a network of specialized vendors and technicians,” said MPAA Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin (read his full statement below). “That’s why maintaining high security standards for all third-party operations from script to screen is such an important part of preventing...

Hollywood’s major studios are looking to seal up the cracks in their digital supply chain.
The MPAA has teamed with trade org Content Delivery & Security Association (Cdsa) to launch the Trusted Partner Network — a new seal-of-approval program for partners aimed at reducing the risk of TV shows and movies hitting piracy networks before their release.
Launched Monday, the Tpn is a global clearinghouse that will set security standards for entertainment production and distribution companies. Partners who pass an independent assessment conforming to those industry best practices will be listed as “trusted partners” in the Tpn directory.
The move comes after a series of high-profile pre-release leaks in 2017. Those included the theft and release of “Orange Is the New Black” season 5 episodes from an audio post-production firm and an episode from “Game of Thrones” season 7 that was traced to employees at a data-management vendor working with 21st Century Fox’s Star India.
