Secure Cloud Data Migration

Organizations migrating their on-premises data to the cloud often face a predicament. While migrating data to the cloud has its own benefits, cloud data migration also brings significant data security and privacy risks that need to be mitigated.

As data is migrated to the cloud, it may contain sensitive data such as, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), Payments Card Industry (PCI), etc, that needs to be protected appropriately.

In this whitepaper, you will learn:

  • Which data is classified as 'sensitive' under modern privacy laws?
  • What do data teams need to discover sensitive data in the organization’s systems?
  • How to determine what data should be moved to the cloud?
  • The data security measures that should be implemented post-migration
  • How sensitive data discovery and linking it to individual identities helps in fulfilling privacy obligations like Data Subject Requests, Cross Border data transfers & Record of Processing Activities (RoPA) reports.

Our Readers Frequently Ask:

Data related to one’s ethnic or racial origin, sexual orientation, political and religious affiliations, biometric data that can identify a person, medical records, and trade union membership is considered sensitive data.

The most reliable and tested method to protect sensitive data and information in cloud environments remains encryption.

Some of the most common risks associated with cloud data migration include inadequate visibility, incompatibility with the current architecture, data loss, and incomplete data deletion from previous cloud storage.
