What is a TPN Blue Shield Assessment?

The TPN Blue Shield Assessment is a structured self-assessment process that evaluates your organization's security practices against the MPA Content Security Best Practices. It allows service providers to identify security strengths, uncover potential risks, and demonstrate their commitment to protecting sensitive content within the entertainment ecosystem. Blue Shield status is awarded after the self-assessment is completed and published in the TPN+ platform.
