Secure publication platform for genomic research
To support secure and compliant publishing of scientific research, our team developed a lightweight, serverless platform for the client’s genomic research division. Designed to facilitate the publication of static content such as whitepapers, datasets, and research findings, the solution minimises the risk of accidental or unauthorised data exposure. The platform introduces a clear workflow for content validation and publication, empowering researchers to share their work with the global scientific community confidently and securely.
About the client
Our client is a major pharmaceutical company conducting advanced genomic research to support innovation in drug development and clinical trials. Within its research ecosystem, specialised teams manage the publication of scientific findings, ensuring transparency, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance in all external communications.
The challenge of streamlining scientific publishing with secure workflows
The client needed a secure, scalable solution to manage the publication of static content that had been approved for external release. Traditional methods of content distribution were cumbersome, posed risks of unauthorised data exposure, and lacked efficient validation workflows. The goal was to build a lightweight platform that could handle various content types, support seamless integration with IAM systems, and maintain regulatory compliance while providing intuitive, role-based access for researchers.
Our role in the project
To address these needs, our team delivered a comprehensive suite of services:
Serverless infrastructure design and deployment
Implemented a cloud-native, serverless infrastructure tailored for static content hosting with high availability and security.
Publication platform development
Built a lightweight solution for content validation and publication, supporting multiple content types and validation stages.
Architectural consulting and scalability planning
Ensured the platform met security, scalability, and performance requirements, optimised for high-volume content delivery.
Integration with IAM and deployment tools
Achieved seamless alignment with the client’s IAM systems, providing secure role-based access and streamlined deployment.
Key achievements
1
Serverless publication platform
Successfully delivered a lightweight, secure platform for scientific publishing.
2
Two-stage publication workflow
Established a clear validation process, enabling secure internal review before public release.
3
Scalable AWS infrastructure
Deployed to handle high-volume content distribution with minimal maintenance overhead.
4
Secure IAM integration
Full alignment with internal IAM systems, ensuring compliant and role-based access control.
Impact and results
The platform revolutionised the client’s ability to securely publish scientific materials, enhancing transparency and credibility while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. Key benefits include:
Increased transparency and reproducibility of published research.
Broader scientific collaboration enabled by secure, easy access to validated content.
Reduced risk of unauthorised data exposure through role-based access.
Lower operational costs due to serverless architecture and optimised resource usage.
