Network Security for Creative Studios.
Studios hold unreleased content, client campaigns and proprietary files. We assess your network, close the gaps and help you prepare for TPN certification if your clients ask for it.
Quick answer
Clouds Agency is a creative agency in Los Angeles. Network security consulting for Los Angeles creative studios and post houses: access control, segmentation and TPN readiness for pre-release content.
Security Assessment
A structured review of your network, access controls, physical security and data handling against the MPA content security best practices.
TPN Readiness Gap Analysis
We compare your setup to TPN expectations and return a ranked list of fixes in the order we would do them.
Network Segmentation
VLANs that keep your content network apart from office systems that face the internet. Security assessments commonly check for this.
Access Control
Role-based access to NAS and editing systems, MFA on remote access, a VPN and a written process for removing access when someone leaves.
Endpoint Hardening
Full-disk encryption, screen lock rules, endpoint protection and a patching routine for every workstation that touches client content.
TPN Assessment Support
We work with your assessor, prepare the documents and fix findings on the way to a Shield.
TPN
Why clients ask about TPN.
Studios and streamers often ask vendors for a TPN status before sending unreleased content. We help facilities go from a first gap assessment to a TPN assessment by an independent assessor.
Questions people ask
Do we need TPN?
Only if clients ask for it or you handle pre-release studio content. Ask your biggest clients what they expect. If you are unsure, a gap assessment shows where you stand either way.
Will the changes disrupt our network?
Segmentation and access changes can affect how people connect. We plan them, test first and apply them outside busy hours.
What do you need from us?
Network diagrams if you have them, a list of staff and who needs access to what, and a walkthrough of the facility.
Can our own IT person do the fixes?
Yes. We can write up the changes for them or do the work ourselves.
Who keeps the documentation?
You do. Policies and assessment notes belong to your facility.
