What's Inside
Five practical sections covering the security controls that matter most before, during, and after a move to the cloud.
Pre-Migration Risk Assessment
Data classification and dependency mapping so you understand what you're moving — and what could break — before the first workload cuts over.
Identity & Access
IAM design, least-privilege roles, and key management to keep credentials and secrets under control as environments multiply.
Data Protection
Encryption in transit and at rest, plus secure transfer practices that protect data as it moves between old and new environments.
Network & Segmentation
VPC design, network segmentation, and egress controls that limit blast radius and keep workloads properly isolated.
Logging, Monitoring & Validation
Audit logging, alerting, and a post-migration verification pass so you can confirm the new environment is secure and behaving as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this cloud migration security checklist for?
Engineering and cloud leads, security teams, and operations staff planning or running a migration to AWS, Azure, or GCP. It's written to be practical whether you're lifting-and-shifting a single workload or re-platforming your whole stack.
Is the checklist really free?
Yes — 100% free, no credit card, no sales call required. Enter your work email and the PDF downloads immediately. We may occasionally send you relevant security and compliance content, and you can unsubscribe any time.
Does this cover AWS, Azure, and GCP?
Yes — the controls are written to be cloud-agnostic and apply across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Where a control maps to a provider-specific service (IAM, KMS, VPC, and the like), the checklist points to the equivalent so you can apply it on your platform.
