Scope
What we examine
Every assessment is scoped to your platforms and stack. Our specialists divide the work by area, and a final AI-assisted review checks for anything the team may have missed.
| Area | What we look at |
|---|---|
| DRM and license policy | Security levels and resolution rules per device class, output protection, offline license policy |
| Device trust | Detection and revocation of compromised or emulated devices, abnormal license request patterns |
| License and session security | Token issuance and binding, entitlement checks, replay and sharing of license requests |
| Stream delivery | CDN URL signing and token lifetime, unencrypted renditions and tracks, key reuse and rotation |
| Custom encryption | Algorithm and mode choices, key storage and exchange, keys exposed to the client |
| Client applications | Players and apps on every platform, tamper and debug resistance, download features |
| Watermarking and tracing | Forensic and visible watermarking, and whether a leaked copy can be traced to an account or session |
| Misuse detection | Concurrent streams, account sharing, abnormal download patterns and automated access |
