Our cloud migration roadmap provides a clear path for organizations across federal, state/local, and commercial sectors to securely transition to cloud infrastructure while maintaining compliance with sector-specific regulations. The roadmap addresses all aspects of cloud migration, from initial assessment to ongoing optimization, with security and compliance integrated throughout the entire process, tailored to each sector's unique requirements.

Multi-Sector Compliance Integration

Federal Requirements

  • FedRAMP Impact Levels (Low/Moderate/High)
  • NIST 800-53 Controls
  • FISMA Compliance
  • 3PAO Assessment

State & Local Requirements

  • NASCIO Cloud Guidelines
  • State Data Protection Laws
  • Municipal Security Standards
  • Smart City Requirements

Commercial Requirements

  • SOC 2 Type II
  • ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud Security
  • PCI DSS (if applicable)
  • Industry-Specific Standards

Cross-Sector Requirements

  • Data Privacy Regulations
  • Cloud Security Alliance
  • Zero Trust Architecture
  • Continuous Monitoring

Risk Management Strategy

Data Loss Risk

Mitigation: Comprehensive backup strategy, data validation during migration, rollback capability.

Service Disruption Risk

Mitigation: Phased migration approach, thorough testing, detailed cutover planning, maintenance windows.

Security Compliance Risk

Mitigation: Early engagement with security team, continuous compliance monitoring, regular security assessments.

Cost Overrun Risk

Mitigation: Detailed TCO analysis, regular cost reviews, implementation of cost management tools.
