While the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) program has been around since 2018, it is expected to quickly replace individual studio audits with major motion picture houses, contributing to the best practice guidelines. The TPN program compares your content security controls against the Motion Picture Association (MPA) best practices. Richey May Technology Services professionals were among the first to become certified TPN Accredited Assessors in the program’s inaugural year. With over 30 years of excellence providing tax and assurance services, our firm has proven we understand compliance. We’ll work with you to help you meet studio and TPN compliance requirements with minimal impact to operations.  Your assessment report will be available for studios to review for one year.

• Security compliance (TPN, GLBA, GDPR, NYDFS.NYCRR.500, PCI-DSS, TPN and more)

Cloud Implementation & Security

Through the use of cloud technology solutions, organizations are able to leverage the latest technology without the need to constantly upgrade infrastructure. This enables companies to reduce costs associated with traditional IT infrastructure and hosting services, and allows them to more effectively enable a distributed workforce.

Industry experts at Gartner, a global research and advisory company, expect an additional 20% growth in cloud technology investments annually. The vast majority of this growth will be in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) on platforms such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.

Our certified professionals will help meet your cloud migration and cloud computing needs, including:

• Migration solutions moving from in-house Exchange to Microsoft Office 365
• Development of cloud migration (adoption and migration) strategies for Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure
• Cloud security assessments
• Business case development for cloud-based projects
• Cost and support management with a focus on reducing and controlling your cloud computing spend

Incident Response

Data breaches can be costly, directly impacting your bottom line and risking the trust of your partners and customers. Our full-service cybersecurity team can help you prevent breaches with offensive measures, recover from an incident and minimize system damage and discover security threats you may not have known about.

We have Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) experts on call to address your questions:

• What happened?
• What was taken?
• How did it happen?
• Now what?
• How can we prevent this from happening again?

Once we have assessed the incident or threat, we can help you remediate it according to the latest best practices and with compliance in mind, including help you carry out any required disclosures about the incident and help you illustrate the steps you have taken to rebuild trust with your stakeholders.

Network Architecture & Design

Companies frequently grow beyond the capacity of their IT Systems. This can happen due to an increase in employees or vendors, adding remote workers, budgetary constraints, new cloud tools and the aging-out of hardware devices.

Without frequent review of your network architecture and design, your overall technology strategy can be on a weak foundation. Not to mention, you could be unnecessarily frustrating employees or leaving yourself vulnerable to cyber attacks.

The MPAA, NIST, SANS, ISO and other organizations have detailed secure frameworks that Richey May Technology Solutions can help you build upon, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Our seasoned veterans know how to securely design networks around your workflow.
