Security and Data Handling

Migration projects touch identity, content, mail, permissions, business processes, and sensitive data. Horton Scientific approaches that work with least-privilege access, documentation, and a clear handover model.

How we approach migration access

Least-privilege access

We request only the access needed for the defined work and prefer role-based, time-bound access wherever the client environment supports it.

Client-owned data

Your data remains your data. We avoid unnecessary extraction, keep working files scoped to the engagement, and align with your retention and deletion requirements.

Secure remote delivery

Migration work is performed remotely using approved access paths, screen-share, admin portals, migration tools, PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, and client-approved repositories.

Documented change work

We document assumptions, commands, tool settings, validation outputs, and handover notes so your admins can understand what changed.

Separation of duties

For sensitive changes, we can work through client approval steps, change windows, ticketing systems, and named stakeholders.

Post-migration cleanup

We include cleanup steps for temporary access, scripts, staging artifacts, service accounts, and migration tooling where applicable.

Procurement-ready artifacts

Enterprise buyers often need documentation before access is granted. We can support that process with practical artifacts.

• NDA or MSA support
• Change-control notes
• Access request list
• Migration runbooks
• Validation reports
• Admin handover documentation
