How to securely migrate data to a private cloud

Plenty has been written about migrating data into the cloud, and much of that which covers the broader cloud security picture can be found right here at Cloud Pro. However, when you zoom into that picture and look at the specifics of migrating data within the enterprise to a private cloud environment the image starts to get a little out of focus more often than not. There is an unfortunately commonplace assumption that such a migration from one type of private data store to another will remain secure, because after all, that private cloud still remains under IT department control. Equally as unfortunate, this assumption is very wide of the mark.
