Solutions · Assurance · TPN Assessments
Site, cloud, zero-trust, and application assessments to the Motion Picture Association's TPN+ standard — delivered by senior assessors who have worked the program since its inception across every tier of the global content supply chain.
Why Convergent for TPN
TPN is not a generic security audit. It is a content-industry-specific program with its own evolution, its own assessor expectations, and its own commercial weight. Convergent's TPN practice exists because that specificity matters to studios, post-production facilities, and SaaS platforms serving the supply chain.
01 · Heritage
Senior members of the Convergent assessor team have worked the TPN program since its early days. That continuity means deep familiarity with how the standard has evolved — and how MPA member studios actually interpret it.
02 · Depth
TPN+ now spans three pillars: physical site, cloud, and application. Most assessment firms cover one well. Convergent's team carries credentials and project history across all three, so one engagement covers a vendor's full attack surface.
03 · Continuity
TPN runs on an annual cadence, but content security is continuous. Convergent supports clients between formal assessments through Sanctum — so evidence is current, gaps don't accumulate, and reassessment is a confirmation, not a scramble.
What we assess
A TPN+ assessment can span physical site controls, cloud architecture, and applications used in the content workflow. Convergent delivers all three under one engagement when needed, or any single pillar as a focused review.
Pillar 01
Physical controls, access governance, and operational practices at production facilities, post-production houses, and dub stages.
Pillar 02
Cloud architecture, control plane, and operational security for AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments that handle media content.
Pillar 03
Workflow applications, asset management platforms, and SaaS tools used in content production, post, distribution, and archival.
The engagement
Most TPN engagements run 8 to 14 weeks end-to-end. Larger multi-site programs run longer. The structure stays the same.

Frequently asked
Yes. Convergent is an authorized assessor under the Trusted Partner Network program and our senior assessor team has worked the program across every tier and content workflow archetype since its inception.
Single-site assessments typically run 8 to 14 weeks from scoping to submission. Cloud and application assessments add time depending on architecture complexity. Multi-site programs are scheduled by region with overlapping assessor teams.
Yes. Site, cloud, and application can each be scoped independently. Many engagements start with one pillar and expand as the client's TPN scope grows or as additional workflows come online.
Engagements are scoped to your specific environment rather than billed against a generic template. The scoping call is free and produces a fixed-fee proposal. Multi-site and multi-year programs are priced on a portfolio basis.
TPN does not use pass or fail in the binary sense — the program records findings against controls and shares the report with MPA member studios. Convergent's role is to surface gaps transparently, prioritize remediation pragmatically, and re-verify when corrective action is complete.
