Why did the TPN Gold assessment cadence move from one to two years?

Annual TPN assessments are costly and time-consuming – by introducing the new TPN Blue self-reported status on an annual basis, TPN and its member Studios agreed that as long as Service Providers were actively reporting their security status on an annual basis and there were no major changes year to year, then a 3rd party assessment could be acceptable. Note that the two year Gold cadence is TPN’s recommendation only – in the event your Company reports a major change or takes on higher security content, an individual Content Owner may request a 3rd party assessment on a more frequent basis.
