Key Takeaways:

  • To set better cloud governance post-migration, it is important to first prepare a proper governance framework.
  • Based on the governance framework you prepare, plan the scope of migration accordingly.
  • Similarly, to improve compliance post-migration, first understand your company’s regulatory requirements.

Enabling Better Cloud Governance After Migration

If your company is consolidating into a full-suite cloud ecosystem like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to establish better governance, there are several strategic steps you must take. Explore them below:

1. Prepare a Proper Cloud Governance Framework

Before planning the migration, it is important to prepare a cloud governance framework that includes policies for managing data, establishing security and compliance protocols, setting up administrative structures, and more.

Make sure that the framework focuses on all areas of cloud governance you want to implement in your target cloud platform. A proper framework sets a solid foundation for planning cloud migration in strategic ways.

2. Align the Migration with the Governance Use Case

Once you have clarity on establishing governance in the destination cloud platform, align the cloud migration plan accordingly. To do this, start with pre-migration analysis and scope of work planning.

Analyze your current cloud platform(s) and understand how data is handled, the overall administration, user collaboration structure, and more. With these insights, you can plan a scope of work that’s aligned with your company’s cloud governance goals.

Enabling Better Cloud Compliance After Migration

If the post-migration goal is also to establish better compliance, you must prioritize your company’s compliance requirements in several areas, such as when choosing cloud platform providers, and more. Explore the details below:

1. Understand Your Company’s Regulatory Requirements

The first step is to completely understand your company’s regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, etc. Much of this is determined by the type of data your company handles and the industry it is based on.

2. Choose Cloud Platforms that can Meet Your Company’s Compliance Requirements

After understanding your company’s compliance requirements, you must explore and choose the cloud platform that meets them. Robust cloud office suites like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace provide businesses with industry-leading compliance.

3. Align the Migration to Establish Compliance in the Destination Cloud

Plan the migration to enable your company to establish complete compliance in the destination cloud. For example, if your company handles time-sensitive data, then migrating timestamps (e.g., original and modified timestamps) is a must.
