Secure Cloud Migration Governance for a Pan-African Telecom Operator
A pan-African telecom operator
The Results
First migration wave delivered on schedule across three countries
A single governance model now reused for every new business unit
Standardized security baselines applied to 100% of migrated workloads
The Challenge
A fast-growing telecom operator was migrating core business systems to the cloud across multiple countries, but had no consistent governance model to manage risk, cost, and compliance across the estate.
Our Approach
CyFort ran a cloud readiness assessment, defined a cloud governance framework covering identity and access management, data residency, and security configuration standards, and supported the migration of priority workloads with hands-on advisory.
The Outcome
The operator completed its first wave of migrations on schedule, with standardized security baselines applied across every new environment. Leadership now has a single governance model to apply as additional business units move to the cloud.
“We needed one governance model that worked across every country we operate in, not a different standard per office. CyFort delivered exactly that.”
