NGO Global Data & Human Rights Platform
Designed and deployed a highly secure data collection, processing, and visualization platform for global human rights analytics and NGO compliance monitoring.
The Problem
Field workers operating in volatile regions required highly secure, end-to-end encrypted intake channels that protected data source identities and withstood DDoS attacks.
The Challenge
- Defending high-profile public assets against targeted distributed denial of service (DDoS) attempts.
- Optimizing heavy geodatabase aggregations and analytical query times for localized dashboard mapping.
- Securing static assets and submission uploads containing highly confidential field interviews.
Our Solution
- Wrapped API ingress zones in Amazon CloudFront CDNs with strict AWS WAF rate-limiting and geolocation rules.
- Built containerized node processing workers on ECS Fargate, scaling based on SQS ingestion backlog sizes.
- Configured secure, private Amazon S3 buckets utilizing KMS server-side encryption and signed time-limited request URLs.
Key Results
Hardened Defense
Successfully deflected multiple high-velocity DDoS attempts without experiencing any performance degradation.
Optimized Geospatial Queries
Reduced geospatial map visualization loading times by over 80% using custom indexing.
100% Confidentiality
Secured all upload assets using signed, encrypted URLs, eliminating unauthorized access vectors.
Outcome
Deployed an enterprise AWS ECS Fargate environment protected by CloudFront and AWS WAF, safeguarding human rights tracking databases with strict envelope encryption.
