As one of the world's leading creative studios, Framestore works with some of the biggest names in film, television, advertising and immersive experiences. As its security needs grew, so did the need for a trusted partner to protect valuable intellectual property and meet evolving compliance requirements. Nomios helped Framestore enhance threat visibility, mature its security capabilities and build long-term resilience through managed SOC, SIEM, endpoint security and security awareness services.
The challenge
As one of the world's leading creative studios, Framestore works with some of the biggest names in film, television, advertising and immersive experiences. Protecting valuable intellectual property while enabling creative teams to deliver world-class content is a critical business priority.
As the organisation continued to grow, cybersecurity became an increasingly important focus. Customer expectations were evolving; industry regulations were becoming more demanding and frameworks such as the Motion Picture Association's Trusted Partner Network (TPN) required organisations to demonstrate robust controls for protecting sensitive content.
Framestore recognised an opportunity to further mature its security programme, improve visibility across its environment and establish a more structured approach to security operations and governance.
The organisation was looking for a trusted partner that could provide specialist expertise, support evolving compliance requirements and help guide its long-term security strategy.
I see Nomios as our security partner. There is a trust there – we're in it together.

Nomios approach
Nomios has worked alongside Framestore for several years, supporting the organisation's ongoing security maturity journey and helping build on existing capabilities as requirements have evolved.
The partnership began with the modernisation of Framestore's global firewall infrastructure, creating a stronger foundation for future security initiatives while supporting the performance requirements of a global creative business.
As security priorities evolved, the focus shifted towards greater visibility and threat detection. Together, Framestore and Nomios implemented a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) service powered by Microsoft Sentinel, providing centralised monitoring and incident response capabilities.
Rather than simply collecting more data, both teams focused on ensuring the right information was available to support informed decision-making. This included refining log ingestion, improving visibility across critical systems and developing operational playbooks to support security processes.
The relationship has continued to evolve, with Nomios supporting endpoint security transformation through CrowdStrike Falcon managed services and helping strengthen security awareness across the organisation through Hoxhunt training.

The outcome
Today, Framestore benefits from a mature and continuously evolving security programme supported by a trusted security partner.
By combining modern security technologies with 24/7 monitoring, strategic guidance and ongoing operational support, the organisation is well positioned to meet industry requirements while protecting the valuable content at the heart of its business.
The partnership has also enabled Framestore to access specialist security expertise and around-the-clock monitoring capabilities without the need to build a large internal security operations function.
Regular collaboration between the two organisations has helped ensure security initiatives remain aligned with business objectives, customer expectationsand emerging threats.
