STOCKHOLM, January 19 – Klash, a leading collaboration platform for the film, TV and gaming industries, announced today it has joined the Trusted Partner Network (TPN), incorporating the new TPN+ platform into its content security preparedness, assessments and reporting.

TPN, powered by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), leverages the MPA’s Best Practices (BP v5.0) framework for site and application/cloud security. The initiative is committed to raising security awareness for the industry and protecting the integrity of content. Initially launched in 2018, TPN recently introduced a new multi-tiered membership model and TPN+ platform, which provides greater flexibility, efficiency and transparency to global content owners and service providers in the media and entertainment industry.

TPN serves as a community platform and industry source of truth, benefiting content owners, service providers, assessors, and the industry as a whole with the shared goal of security preparedness, awareness and anti-piracy measures for the entire digital media supply chain in an environment that faces critical data breaches.

Klash joined TPN to take advantage of the enhanced program and TPN+ platform. In doing so, Klash has demonstrated its commitment to content security and the secure handling of content workflows and complex supply chains in an environment of rapid growth and technology evolution.

“TPN makes compliance easy. Created by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), these guidelines help us avoid leaks, breaches, and hacks of pre-released, high-value media content, which is a must for our customers” says Fredrik Munthe, founder and CEO of Klash.

“TPN’s goal is to serve as the source of truth for all stakeholders in our industry. Extensive collaboration with content owners, service providers and assessors has helped us advance our membership program and our new TPN+ platform,” said Terri Davies, President of Trusted Partner Network (TPN). “We are excited to welcome Klash and appreciate their support for our mission.
