Secure Access, Without Compromise: Protecting Your Creative Assets

In today’s digital production landscape, creative content is more valuable and vulnerable than ever. Recent high-profile IP leaks, from Grand Theft Auto to Netflix and more, have shown how damaging a single lapse in security can be.

At CREE8, we built our platform to prioritize security from day one. Now, we’re proud to share that we’ve achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, validating our practices through a rigorous independent audit and reaffirming our commitment to keeping your intellectual property safe.

 

SOC 2 Type II and Why It Matters

SOC 2 Type II is a compliance standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates how a company safeguards customer data over time, not just through a point-in-time review. It’s widely recognized as the gold standard for companies handling sensitive digital content.

For teams in media, sports broadcasting, and gaming, this matters. Our customers work on high-profile, time-sensitive projects that demand not only speed, but ironclad protection.

 

The Problem with Legacy Workflows

Traditional content production methods often rely on portable drives, physical shipping, and unsecured file transfers like email or FTP which can expose assets to theft, corruption, or loss. Even within studios, access controls are often outdated, making it hard to monitor who can view or change files. These gaps can lead to external leaks, compliance failures, and reputational damage.

 

Our Approach: Security by Design

CREE8 was purpose-built to eliminate these risks through:

  • End-to-End AES-256 Encryption: Whether you’re transferring across time zones or logging in from set, all files are encrypted.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Only the right people can access each project. You define permissions by team, function, or file type. We also enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) and offer single sign-on (SSO) integration.
  • Zero Trust Architectural Stance: Zero Trust is a guiding principle for how we built CREE8. Every user, device, and connection is verified before gaining access.
  • Secure Cloud Infrastructure: We work exclusively with SOC 2-certified providers like AWS and Google Cloud, ensuring your content lives in environments that meet the highest security standards.

 

Built for Creators, Secured for Teams

Our goal isn’t just to pass audits, it’s to create an environment where creators can work freely, teams can collaborate remotely, and leaders can sleep at night knowing their content is secure.

We’re proud to have reached this milestone, but we’re not done. We continue to invest in security innovation, from third-party penetration testing to policy transparency. We’re actively pursuing our TPN Gold certification and participate in industry standards bodies like the MovieLabs Forum to create a more secure industry for all.
