Compliance migrations

EPC Group configures compliance controls during the migration process — not as an afterthought. We add HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and CMMC configurations during the tenant setup phase. This avoids costly remediation after go-live.

HIPAA-compliant migrations

• Sign Microsoft HIPAA BAA before migrating any PHI data.
• Apply sensitivity labels to all PHI content types during migration.
• Configure private endpoints for Azure services handling PHI.
• Set up 6-year audit log retention in Microsoft Purview.

FedRAMP / CMMC migrations

• Deploy to Microsoft GCC or GCC High for FedRAMP workloads.
• Configure CMMC Level 2/3 controls during environment setup.
• Produce System Security Plan (SSP) documentation during the migration project.

SharePoint migration tools (2026)

Tenant-to-tenant SharePoint migrations use three primary tools:

• Native Microsoft 365 migration tools: Free, but limited to in-place scenarios. Best for simple migrations.
• ShareGate: Best for permission preservation across hub-spoke architectures. Strong audit reporting.
• AvePoint Migrator: Enterprise scale with regulated-industry compliance reporting. Best for healthcare and government migrations.

Microsoft Purview and migration governance

Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels on SharePoint Online now auto-classify based on Microsoft 365 Copilot grounding hints. Container labels enforce sharing controls at the site level. Purview Content Explorer surfaces unauthorized PHI or PII exposure in real time — a critical post-migration check.

EPC Group runs a Purview governance sprint as part of every SharePoint migration to ensure all content is labeled before go-live.

Frequently asked questions

How much does cloud migration cost?

Small business migrations, mid-sized migrations (100–500 users), and large enterprise migrations with complex hybrid environments are each scoped after discovery. Compliance configurations (HIPAA, FedRAMP) add scope and cost — but are included in EPC Group's fixed-fee migration packages.

How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?

Small organizations (under 100 users, under 1 TB) take 2–4 weeks. Mid-sized organizations (100–500 users) take 4–8 weeks. Large enterprises (over 500 users, multiple data sources) take 3–6 months with phased rollout.

How do you protect data during migration?

Documented data-fidelity checklists on every migration project. We run pre-migration audits, staged test migrations, and post-migration verification against the source inventory before cutover is signed off. Our 6,500+ SharePoint implementations use the same reconciliation methodology.

What is a tenant-to-tenant migration?

A tenant-to-tenant migration moves mailboxes, SharePoint sites, and Teams data from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another — common in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. EPC Group uses ShareGate and AvePoint Migrator for cross-tenant migrations, preserving permissions, timestamps, and content types.

Can you migrate to Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace?

Yes. EPC Group migrates organizations from Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Meet) to Microsoft 365. Small migrations (under 100 users, under 1 TB) take 2–4 weeks. Larger migrations include data mapping, user training, and a parallel-run period before cutover.
