CDSA Value Proposition

The Content Delivery and Security Association (CDSA) is the worldwide forum advocating the innovative and responsible delivery and storage of entertainment, software, and information content.

Content Security Through CDSA Certification

A cornerstone of the CDSA value proposition to the entertainment industry are its market proven content protection standards. These include:

Anti-Piracy & Compliance Programs (APCP)

More than 100 media creation, manufacturing, and distribution facilities worldwide participate in CDSA’s Anti-Piracy & Compliance Programs, which are supported and endorsed by the intellectual property community, its supply chain partners and government enforcement agencies. Program standards are designed to provide content supply chain security at each site through comprehensive security risk management assessments and ongoing audits by experienced and independent ISO-accredited auditors.

  • Content Protection & Security – Developed for risk assessment and management of physical parameters, electronic systems and environments at virtually all supply chain sites; an 18-month process that results in CDSA CPS accreditation. Also acts as a value-added adjunct to the existing Copyright and Licensing Verification certification for media manufacturers.
  • Copyright & Licensing Verification – Developed at the request of content owners and media manufacturers to standardize and verify processes used to prevent piracy through unauthorized manufacturing and distribution.
  • Content Security Risk Assessment — Independent spot audit of service provider risk and security precautions; designed for a rapid-response evaluation of vendor readiness; results are only shared with site and their authorizing parties and does not result in CPS accreditation.
