+# Malware and Virus Scanning Solution for File Uploads
+
+## Use Case Overview
+
+### Real-Time Scanning
+- Many surveys require file uploads and immediate feedback to users.
+- A **real-time scanning solution** is essential to process files as they are uploaded.
+
+### Backend Scanning
+- For the **Ingest Project** and similar use cases:
+  - High volumes of large files are anticipated.
+  - Files should be scanned asynchronously using a backend process:
+    - Example workflow: **Arrival Bucket → Scan → Permanent Bucket or Quarantine**.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+To meet these needs, we propose implementing an **OIS-approved, enterprise-level virus and malware scanning solution**. The solution should:
+1. **Support API-based integration** for seamless real-time scanning of incoming files.
+2. Handle **backend scanning workflows** efficiently within an S3-based architecture.
+3. Be **scalable and robust** to accommodate varying file sizes and volumes.
+4. Be a **centrally managed enterprise solution** to ensure consistency and compliance across projects.
+
+---
+
+## Current Observations
+
+- **AWS** does not offer a native virus or malware scanning solution.
+- However, **third-party solutions** exist, such as **Cloud Storage Security**, which:
+  - Deploy scanning services.
+  - Provide API-based functionality.
+
+- While these tools could meet technical needs, deploying such a solution requires:
+  - **Enterprise-level planning.**
+  - Approval and alignment with **security and operational standards**.
+
+---
+
+## Request
+
+Given the scope and security implications, the Centurion Team requests the **OIS team** to:
+1. **Evaluate** and **implement** an enterprise-grade malware and virus scanning solution.
+2. Ensure the solution can serve **multiple projects** across the organization.
+
+This solution should not be developed or managed by the Centurion Team alone.
