TPN Assessment Services
The TPN is a network of vendors dedicated to maintaining high standards of security within the entertainment industry. The TPN itself is brought to us by the Motion Picture Association (MPA). The assessment measures an organization's security preparedness against the MPA Content Security Best Practices.
How to Pass your TPN Assessment
The easiest way to pass your TPN assessment is to work closely with an experienced, certified provider. Island Technologies has an in-house TPN certified assessor named Patrick Coffin. Patrick Coffin has worked with network security for over 30 years and has many entertainment projects under his belt. Patrick will consult with you about your content security processes in preparation for your assessment.
