Content leaks can cost studios millions and destroy marketing campaigns. Here's how leading production companies protect their intellectual property throughout the production lifecycle.
The Threat Landscape
From script leaks to pre-release torrents, the entertainment industry faces unique security challenges. A single leak can result in massive financial losses and damaged reputations.
MPA Content Security Best Practices
The Motion Picture Association's Content Security Program provides the gold standard framework. Key requirements include secure facilities, access controls, watermarking, and chain-of-custody documentation.
On-Set Security Essentials
1. Device Management: No personal devices in sensitive areas. Managed devices only with DLP policies.
2. Secure Dailies: Encrypted transfer to post-production with access logging.
3. NDA Enforcement: Digital documentation and regular acknowledgment.
4. Physical Security: Badge access, camera monitoring, and secured perimeters.
Post-Production Security
Secure editing suites, watermarked screeners, and controlled distribution. Every touchpoint must be monitored and logged.
