Media GRC, across every brand.
Media companies run many brands and business units, each with its own vendors and risks. TruOps gives each one its own space and gives the parent one view across all of them.

TruOps helps media and entertainment companies run security, privacy, and vendor programs across many brands and business units, with an isolated environment for each entity, a parent-level view, and vendor assessments through a portal.
- Each brand has its own tools and the parent can't see risk across them
- Ad tech and production partners handle audience data
- You have one ISO certificate and twelve business units that have never been assessed
The rules that apply
Most media companies answer to several overlapping regimes at once. The common ones:
| Regime | What it asks for |
|---|---|
| Privacy laws | Audience and subscriber data under GDPR and U.S. state laws |
| PCI DSS | Subscription and e-commerce payments |
| SOC 2 and ISO 27001 | For B2B products and partners |
| Vendor risk | Ad tech, production, and SaaS partners |
Which ones apply depends on your size, location, and activities. TruOps runs whichever you need in one place and shows where they overlap.
The challenge
The parent company licensed a GRC tool, but the brands never log in. Ad tech and production partners handle audience data under contracts signed years ago, and leadership's view is a slide deck.
- Each brand's vendors and risks stay invisible until there's an incident.
- Shared vendors create concentration risk that nobody can report on.
- B2B properties need SOC 2 or ISO while consumer brands need privacy and PCI, and none of them share evidence.
What you're probably using today
Media companies often license one GRC tool at the parent that business units never use, and every acquisition adds to the gap.
| What you use now | Where it falls short | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise GRC suites | They can model almost anything, but that flexibility usually runs through implementation partners and admins, so every change turns into a project. | AI reads your existing documents and sets up the program. Your first assessment opens pre-filled with sources, and you make changes by asking in plain language. |
| Spreadsheets for each brand, slides for the parent | The roll-up is put together by hand and is wrong the next day. | Each brand can have its own environment, with posture and risk rolled up live. |
| Point tools that don't connect | A TPRM portal here, a risk register there, findings in your ticketing tool, and the board pack in slides. Each tells its own story, so leadership gets three different answers. | One place for assessments, evidence, and risk. Upload a document, answer a question, or check a control once, and it counts everywhere it applies. |
What teams in this industry work on
Here are the programs media companies run day to day, and what good looks like when an examiner, customer, or board asks.
| Use case | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| One view across every brand | Each brand or business unit can have its own environment or scope, and leadership sees posture, risk, and shared vendor concentration |
| Ad tech and production partners | Vendors that process audience or subscriber data are assessed through a portal, sized to the data they receive |
| SOC 2 and ISO for B2B products | Properties that sell technology keep a working attestation program alongside the consumer brands |
| Privacy and PCI on the same map | Subscription payment and audience data obligations counted once wherever they overlap |
What makes it hard
- Each brand or business unit has its own tools and vendors.
- Audience data flows through many partners.
- Leadership needs a consolidated view.
