Ensuring data security during a migration from Lotus Notes to Office 365 is critical for protecting sensitive business information and ensuring a smooth transition. The first step is to audit and categorize data within Lotus Notes, identifying sensitive or confidential information that requires extra protection during the migration process.
When migrating, use secure migration tools that offer end-to-end encryption. Microsoft provides migration services that incorporate encryption to safeguard data in transit, preventing unauthorized access. Before migration, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all user accounts in Office 365, providing an added layer of security against unauthorized access during the migration process.
Establish role-based access controls (RBAC) to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data during and after the migration. It's essential to configure permissions carefully within Office 365 to maintain the integrity of your data.
To further enhance security, enable Microsoft Defender and Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) within Office 365 to proactively defend against threats and malware. After the migration, conduct a post-migration audit to verify that all data has been securely transferred and there is no loss or corruption of information.
For a seamless and secure Lotus Notes to Office 365 migration, consider partnering with a trusted migration service like Apps4Rent to ensure the entire process meets security and compliance standards.
