LucidLink Achieves TPN Gold Certification

In a significant milestone for the media and entertainment sector, LucidLink has become one of the few companies to receive the esteemed Trusted Partner Network (TPN) Gold Shield certification. This achievement underscores the company’s commitment to ensuring secure collaboration among global teams in an industry where protection of intellectual property is paramount.

The TPN initiative, spearheaded by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), is aimed at minimizing risks such as leaks and cyber breaches within the media supply chain. The Gold Shield certification is a mark of excellence, resulting from a thorough evaluation process by accredited third parties, going far beyond simpler self-assessment protocols like the TPN Blue certification.

LucidLink's assessment was performed by CISC Limited, a recognized auditor within the TPN framework, specializing in security evaluations tailored to the media and entertainment industries. The results are now available for TPN Studio members via the TPN+ platform, enabling an efficient and centralized review process for key stakeholders.

As the demand for cloud-based workflows continues to rise in the media ecosystem, LucidLink’s innovative solutions are tailored to meet the growing security requirements. By integrating robust security measures into its platform, LucidLink allows clients to access, share, and collaborate on extensive media projects with confidence, without compromising on security or operational efficiency.

CEO Peter Thompson emphasizes the emphasis on security that has been embedded in LucidLink’s offerings. “Achieving the TPN Gold Shield certification reaffirms our dedication to providing secure, cloud-native workflows that enable creatives from all around the world to collaborate effectively, and without jeopardizing sensitive media content,” he explained. This sentiment resonates across a sector where high-value projects such as award-winning films and television shows are at stake.

A core aspect of LucidLink's platform is its unique zero-knowledge encryption model. This means that data is only accessible by end-users, ensuring neither LucidLink nor any storage providers can see the data itself. This feature provides an added layer of security that is increasingly crucial, especially for media companies managing significant projects.

The TPN Gold Shield certification firmly establishes LucidLink as an industry leader, highlighting its alignment with the MPA Content Security Best Practices. As the landscape of media production continues to evolve digitally, LucidLink is uniquely positioned to advance reliable and secure content creation processes.

In addition to this new accolade, LucidLink’s earlier compliance with SOC 2, Type II standards this year solidifies its status as a trusted partner for studios, broadcasters, and post-production facilities that are transitioning to cloud-based operations. These certifications together validate LucidLink’s adherence to rigorous security practices, ensuring the safe management of sensitive workflows across the media and entertainment supply chain.
