Business Compass - Single-Use Link Content Protection Service

Protect your photos, videos, and documents from unauthorized redistribution with a serverless single-use link pipeline deployed on AWS. Business Compass LLC delivers a fully operational content protection system that ensures each shared link can only be accessed once - preventing link forwarding, unauthorized downloads, and revenue leakage.

Business Compass LLC is an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner and AWS Well-Architected Framework Partner with 50+ AWS certifications across the team, including AWS Solutions Architect Professional, ML Specialty, and Network Specialty. We hold multiple AWS Service Delivery competencies including Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway. Our team has delivered solutions across financial services, media, healthcare, power, and public sector industries with experience in HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800, and SOC 2 compliance frameworks.

A photography studio needs to deliver500 high-resolution images to a client without risk of the download link being forwarded to unauthorized parties. Using this solution, each image is accessible through a unique URL that expires immediately after first access. The Lambda@Edge function validates the token against DynamoDB in real time - if the token has been consumed, access is denied. This same pattern applies to video-on-demand platforms distributing premium content, healthcare organizations sharing patient records, and financial firms distributing sensitive documents.

• Content is stored in Amazon S3 with server-side encryption (AES-256)
• CloudFront serves content with HTTPS encryption in transit
• Lambda@Edge intercepts each request and validates the one-time token against DynamoDB
• Upon first access, the token is immediately marked as consumed in DynamoDB, preventing any subsequent use
• Access events are logged for analytics including timestamp, geographic location, and device information

• Encryption at rest (S3 server-side encryption) and in transit (TLS via CloudFront)
• IAM access controls restricting direct S3 access - content is only accessible through CloudFront
• DynamoDB token records with configurable TTL for automatic data retention management
• CloudFront access logging for audit trails
• Architecture aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework security pillar
• Team experience with HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800, and SOC 2 compliance requirements

Phase 1 - Discovery (Day 1-2):

• Requirements gathering call to understand content types, volume, and access patterns
• Define scope boundaries and acceptance criteria

Phase 2 - Deployment (Day 3-7):

• Deploy serverless pipeline using Infrastructure as Code
• Configure S3 buckets, CloudFront distribution, DynamoDB table, and Lambda@Edge function
• Implement access logging and analytics

Phase 3 - Demonstration and Handoff (Day 8-10):

• Live demonstration of link generation and single-use consumption
• Deliver architecture documentation, deployment runbook, and operational guide
• Knowledge transfer session with your team

Deliverables:

• Fully deployed single-use link pipeline in your AWS account
• CloudFormation/IaC templates for reproducibility
• Architecture diagram documenting all component interactions
• Operational runbook covering monitoring, troubleshooting, and scaling
• Knowledge transfer session (up to 2 hours)

In Scope: Single-use link generation pipeline, S3 storage configuration, CloudFront distribution, Lambda@Edge validation, DynamoDB token management, basic analytics dashboard, documentation, and knowledge transfer.

Out of Scope: Custom UI development, multi-region deployment, ongoing managed services, content migration, and third-party integrations beyond the core AWS stack.

• AWS account with administrative access or ability to provision IAM roles
• Availability of a technical point of contact for 2-3 calls during the engagement
• Content already stored in or ready to upload to Amazon S3
