Our TPN Compliance Methodology

Every Codesecure TPN engagement follows a proven 5-phase methodology that matches the MPA assessor workflow.

Phase 1: Scoping and Kick-Off

We work with your studio's management team to define in-scope facilities, content workflows, cloud environments and subcontractor scope for the TPN assessment.

Phase 2: Readiness Gap Assessment

We run a full gap assessment against the MPA Content Security Best Practices Common Guidelines including management, physical, digital, content and workflow controls.

Phase 3: Remediation

We guide or directly implement control remediation including policies, physical security uplift, network segmentation, workstation hardening and workflow improvements.

Phase 4: Mock Audit

We conduct a full mock TPN assessment using the same checklist the MPA assessor uses so your team has zero surprises on audit day.

Frequently Asked Questions

TPN, the Trusted Partner Network, is a content security assessment program administered by the MPA and CDSA. It is a hard requirement for any vendor wanting to work on Hollywood, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Disney+, Apple TV+ and other premium OTT productions. Indian post-production houses, VFX studios, animation studios and localization vendors need a valid TPN Blue Shield or Gold Shield status to bid for premium projects. Without it, major studio work is simply unavailable.

A typical Indian post-production or VFX studio needs 3 to 6 months from kick-off to a clean TPN assessment. That includes readiness gap analysis, remediation of findings, policy drafting, physical and technical security uplift, and the assessment itself. Codesecure compresses this by running assessment, remediation and evidence collection in parallel.

Blue Shield indicates that your studio has successfully completed a self-reported TPN assessment questionnaire and passed the initial review. Gold Shield indicates that an MPA-approved assessor has completed a full on-site assessment and your studio meets all applicable Content Security Best Practices controls. Major studios increasingly require Gold Shield status for premium productions and high-value content.

Total TPN compliance investment for an Indian studio typically runs INR 8 to 20 lakh depending on facility size, content workflows and existing control maturity. This includes Codesecure consulting fees, physical security upgrades, workstation and network hardening, and the MPA assessor fee. Smaller studios can pursue Blue Shield at a lower budget and upgrade to Gold Shield when their project pipeline justifies it.

Yes. Modern VFX and post-production workflows increasingly run on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure with cloud-based editorial review tools, cloud rendering farms and remote editorial platforms. TPN has specific cloud security requirements and Codesecure supports readiness, remediation and audit for hybrid and fully cloud-based content workflows across all major cloud platforms.
