LucidLink’s collaboration platform gains TPN Gold Shield certification

LucidLink, a storage collaboration platform, has been awarded the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) Gold Shield certification. This milestone, said the company, highlights its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the most valuable assets of the media and entertainment (M&E) industry.

The TPN, a global initiative by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), is designed to protect against leaks, breaches, and hacks in the media supply chain. The Gold Shield certification represents the most rigorous evaluation process, conducted by accredited third-party evaluators, and exceeds the scope of self-assessments like TPN Blue certification. 

LucidLink’s Gold certification signifies its ongoing guarantee of building stringent security measures, crucial in an industry where protecting intellectual property and sensitive content is vital.

The M&E industry is increasingly relying on cloud-based workflows. LucidLink stands out by addressing the sector’s rising digital security needs. With its solutions, LucidLink ensures customers can confidently access, share, and collaborate on large-scale media projects without compromising on security or efficiency.

Peter Thompson, CEO of LucidLink, said, “LucidLink has consistently prioritised security as one of the cornerstones of our solutions. Achieving the TPN Gold Shield certification reaffirms our dedication to providing secure, cloud-native workflows that empower creatives to collaborate globally without compromising sensitive media assets.”

LucidLink’s storage collaboration platform, known for its innovative zero-knowledge encryption model, ensures that only end-users can access their data — neither LucidLink nor storage providers have visibility.

This level of security is particularly critical for M&E companies handling high-value projects like Oscar-winning films and award-winning TV programmes.

LucidLink’s assessment was conducted by CISC, an accredited TPN-certified third-party auditor with expertise in evaluating security in the M&E industry. The results of this assessment are now accessible to TPN Studio members via the TPN+ platform, enabling a streamlined and centralised review process for all stakeholders.
