SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LucidLink, the leading storage collaboration platform revolutionizing how global teams work, proudly announces its achievement of the prestigious Trusted Partner Network (TPN) Gold Shield certification. This milestone highlights LucidLink's 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.

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

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 innovative solutions, LucidLink ensures customers can confidently access, share, and collaborate on large-scale media projects without compromising on security or efficiency.

"LucidLink has consistently prioritized security as one of the cornerstones of our solutions," said Peter Thompson, CEO of LucidLink. "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 programs.

"By earning the TPN Gold Shield, LucidLink aligns itself with the MPA Content Security Best Practices, demonstrating its readiness to protect creative works across the evolving digital landscape," said Terri Davies, President of the TPN. "Commitment to securing cloud-based solutions is essential for modern media workflows, and earning a TPN Gold enables software providers such as LucidLink to provide more reliable content creation while safeguarding against evolving threats."

LucidLink's dual achievement of SOC 2, Type II compliance earlier this year, and now TPN Gold Shield certification positions it as a trusted partner for studios, broadcasters, and post-production houses transitioning to cloud-based operations. These certifications validate LucidLink's adherence to the most stringent security protocols, ensuring the safety and integrity of sensitive workflows across the global M&E supply chain.
