Content protection for film and TV productions
Access, device and chain of custody control to reduce the risk of scripts, scenes and media leaving the production before release.
What is content protection in a film or TV production?
Content protection is the set of physical measures and procedures that reduces the risk of unreleased material circulating outside the production: scripts, set photos, cuts, trailers and raw media.
In practice, it defines who enters the set and at what level, which devices are allowed into a private screening, how media moves between shooting, post-production and exhibition, and what to do if something leaks.

Frequently asked questions
What does content protection for a production include?
It includes access control for the set and locations, management of phones and other devices at private screenings, chain of custody for media, screening of crew and vendors, leak investigations and a confidentiality protocol for the whole operation.
How do you prevent photos and videos from leaking from a film set?
The risk drops with accreditation by authorization level, a controlled perimeter in filming areas, rules on taking pictures and prior checks on who will have access to the content. The measures are defined before the shoot and applied on the ground.
Can phones be controlled at a pre-release screening?
Yes. The device policy is set before the session, communicated to guests and enforced at the entrance, with devices kept under control during the screening.
What is media chain of custody?
It is the supervision of the physical route that drives and copies take between production, post-production and exhibition, so that you know who had the material at each stage.

Chazan runs an internal investigation and keeps a technical record that can be used in contractual or legal proceedings. Legal action is decided together with the production’s legal team.
