What a proper cloud migration includes
Most cloud migrations are "lift and shift" — copy files, point email at the new tenant, declare victory. This creates a fragile, insecure environment that looks fine until it isn't. Most businesses don't realise the gaps until an account is compromised, a device gets lost, or an auditor reviews their setup. De4sec builds migrations that are secure by design.
✓Current state assessment — what exists, what needs to move, what can be retired
✓M365 tenant architecture — naming, licensing, group structure
✓Email migration — Exchange, Google Workspace, on-premise SMTP
✓File migration — on-premise file shares to SharePoint and OneDrive
✓Identity management — Azure AD, hybrid join, single sign-on
✓Microsoft Intune — all devices enrolled, policies applied pre-cutover
✓Conditional Access — MFA enforced, location policies, device compliance
✓Microsoft Defender — baseline configuration applied at migration
✓Backup configuration — Microsoft 365 backup policy
✓Staff training — what has changed and how to use the new tools
✓Cutover managed out of hours — no business disruption
What a poor migration looks like
✓No MFA — accounts compromised within weeks
✓No Intune — devices unmanaged, can't enforce policies
✓Email security not configured — phishing gets through
✓Files in OneDrive but permissions wide open
✓No backup — one ransomware incident = data loss
✓Admin accounts with global admin on daily accounts
De4sec migrations are designed to meet Essential Eight requirements from day one — so you are not remediating security debt after the move.
