Leaders want to know:
- Will sensitive data be protected during migration?

Security measures in CMS migrations mean applying strict controls to protect systems, data, and users during and after replatforming. Forrester highlights security as a top decision criterion in CMS adoption.
Why it matters
Security breaches during migration damage customer trust and trigger regulatory fines. Gartner shows that 70% of digital project failures involve overlooked security. Harvard Business Review stresses that cybersecurity is now a board-level priority.
