# **MFT Security & Migration Readiness Checklist**

Prepare enterprise file-transfer environments for migration without losing partner connectivity, encryption, auditability, failure handling, or operational control.

Use the checklist before defining migration waves or selecting a cutover date. Include transfer owners, application teams, network and security teams, compliance, service management, and the people who support partner connections.

A transfer is not migration-ready until its owner, dependencies, security material, test criteria, failure behavior, rollback path, and operational handover are documented.
