Data Sovereignty for Greece's Radio Audience Research on AWS
Taking ownership of audience research data from fragmented, third-party infrastructure
AEMAR's research data was stored entirely on the research companies' own servers, leaving AEMAR and its member radio stations with no independent ownership, access control, or continuity guarantees. The platform also needed to serve four distinct user types with different permissions, handle ~2,000 audio recordings per day in a searchable and streamable way, and meet GDPR compliance requirements under Panteion University's scientific oversight framework — all from day one.
LCM Go Cloud designed and built the ARMP — a full-stack custom web application on AWS with three integrated layers:
Web UI (ARMP Application): Role-based access ; file management with categories, tags and metadata; single and bulk drag-and-drop upload; advanced search; integrated in-browser audio player; permission-controlled sharing and download.
AWS Cloud Back-End: Amazon S3 encrypted storage; EC2 with EBS snapshots for daily backups; CloudFront CDN for low-latency delivery; AWS WAF against exploits and bots; AWS Shield for DDoS protection; CloudWatch monitoring dashboards.
Governance & Lifecycle: Full activity audit trail; automated file archiving and deletion policies; GDPR compliance; AWS IAM access management; WORM-capable S3 object locking.
For the first time, AEMAR and its member radio stations own and control their audience research data — independently, securely, and with full compliance.
LCM Go Cloud built a custom web platform and secure AWS back-end — giving AEMAR full data sovereignty, role-based access for 4 stakeholder types, and scalable audio storage for 2,000+ daily recordings.
LCM Go Cloud specialises in Microsoft Workload migrations and AWS End User Computing — taking legacy Windows and SQL applications global, fast and cost-effectively.
