So, you've made the leap to the cloud, congratulations! Whether you've migrated your email, data storage, applications, or your entire infrastructure, moving to the cloud is a major milestone. But cloud adoption isn’t the finish line, it’s the beginning of a new journey.

Here are some key considerations once you're in the cloud, and how Rightside IT can help you make the most of it.

Security Isn’t Set-and-Forget

Cloud platforms offer robust security features, but they need to be configured correctly and monitored continuously. From identity and access management to encryption and threat detection, there’s a lot to stay on top of.

How we help:
We provide ongoing security audits, implement best-practice configurations, and monitor your cloud environment 24/7 to keep your data safe and compliant.

Cost Management Is Crucial

Cloud services are billed on usage, which means costs can spiral if not managed carefully. Unused resources, over-provisioned services, and lack of visibility can lead to unexpected bills.

How we help:
We offer cloud cost optimization services, helping you identify waste, right-size resources, and implement budgeting tools to keep spending predictable.

Performance Monitoring Matters

Just because your systems are in the cloud doesn’t mean they’ll automatically run at peak performance. Latency, downtime, and bottlenecks can still occur.

How we help:
We monitor performance metrics, set up alerts, and proactively resolve issues before they impact your business operations.

Backup and Disaster Recovery Still Apply

Cloud doesn’t mean invincible. Data loss can still happen due to human error, cyberattacks, or misconfigurations. A solid backup and recovery strategy is essential.

How we help:
We design and manage cloud-based backup and disaster recovery solutions tailored to your business needs, ensuring you’re covered no matter what.

Compliance and Governance Are Ongoing

Whether you're in healthcare, finance, or any regulated industry, compliance doesn’t stop at migration. You need to ensure your cloud setup meets all relevant standards.

How we help:
We help you navigate GDPR, DORA, ISO, and other compliance frameworks, providing documentation, audits, and policy enforcement.

User Training and Support Make a Difference

Your team needs to know how to use cloud tools effectively and securely. Without proper training, productivity and security can suffer.

How we help:
We offer tailored training sessions, user support, and helpdesk services to ensure your staff are confident and capable in the cloud.
