Cartesian has introduced the Farncombe Security Audit Mark.
farncombeTwo content security vendors, Irdeto and Verimatrix, are the first companies to sign up to use the mark, which signifies to operators and service providers that the digital media content system has undergone an extensive security review, and that a report is available on request.
The multi-phase audit includes an on-site review by the Cartesian content security audit team and a detailed assessment report with the audit results. Companies that pass the audit can display the mark in their marketing materials and websites.
Cartesian, through its acquisition of Farncombe in July 2015, provides independent content security consulting and advisory services to the digital video sector. The company has performed content security audits in support of the major Hollywood studios for more than 12 years. Cartesian’s methodology assesses support against studios’ rigorous standards, including the MovieLabs Enhanced Content Protection specification.
“As part of our broader security audit service, we introduced the Farncombe Security Audit Mark to fulfil the need for a reliable and verifiable way to inform the public that the user of the Mark has undergone an independent assessment of their content security system,” said Jean-Marc Racine, SVP at Cartesian.
“With content security a significant concern across the industry, the Farncombe Security Audit Mark now gives buyers visible assurance of completion of an independent and recognised security assessment.”
