Transfer General

Managed Cross-Cloud Data Transfers - With Proof

Transfer General is a managed service for secure, regulated cross-cloud data transfers. It moves data across cloud boundaries inside your cloud accounts, takes responsibility for execution, and produces a defensible, object-level chain-of-custody for every transfer.

For organizations handling sensitive or regulated data, the risk is no longer just slow transfers. The risk is uncertain outcomes, audit exposure, and operational blame when something goes wrong. Transfer General exists to remove that risk.

Risk Section
WHEN DATA TRANSFER BECOMES A RISK

Cross-Cloud Data Migration Introduces Operational +
Compliance Risk.

Organizations moving regulated data, sensitive datasets, or large AI/ML training datasets encounter a recurring set of realities.

Native tools ≠defensible records

Audit gap

Native cloud transfer tools are optimized for throughput and availability — not for producing an execution record you can review, defend, or attest later.

Forensics reflects post-incident reconstruction

Forensics

When transfers fail, retry, or resume, understanding what actually happened requires manual reconstruction across multiple logs, services, and clouds.

Arrival confirmed ≠custody proven

Custody Gap

Teams can confirm that data arrived, but often cannot produce a single, authoritative, object-level chain-of-custody showing how the data was handled or whether it was altered.

Providers won’t attestacross boundaries

Attestation Gap

No cloud provider will attest to what occurred inside a competitor’s environment, leaving custody gaps whenever data crosses cloud boundaries.

AI/ML raises the barfurther

Reproducibility

For AI/ML workloads, dataset completeness, consistency across retries, and reproducibility directly affect model validity and downstream outcomes.

Retries inflate cost

Unpredictable Spend

Failures often require re-sending entire objects, amplifying egress charges and operational cost as data volumes grow.

What Transfer General Does

Transfer General executes each transfer at the object level and produces verifiable evidence as part of execution.

Transfer General addresses these risks by operating as a managed execution service, not a toolkit.

Object-level encryption

Encrypt each object before it crosses cloud boundaries using customer-controlled keys (KMS provisioned when required).

customer-controlled keys

Integrity verification

Verify integrity before finalizing delivery so destination promotion is always consistent and auditable.

verify before finalize

Immutable transfer record

Produce a single, append-only, object-level transfer record — suitable for audits and internal compliance reviews.

manifest / evidence

For each object transferred, Transfer General:

  • Encrypts data at the object layer before it crosses cloud boundaries
  • Uses customer-controlled encryption keys; provisions cloud KMS when required
  • Transfers data across clouds while remaining inside customer’s cloud accounts
  • Verifies integrity before finalizing delivery
  • Transfer failures deterministically use offset-based re-transfer methodology
  • Produces a single, immutable, object-level transfer record

Execution and evidence are produced together, as part of the same controlled process.

Security, Compliance, and Evidence

Transfer General executes transfers entirely inside the customer’s cloud environments and does not take custody of customer data. This section explains how execution is controlled at the object level and how audit‑ready evidence is produced as part of the transfer itself.

IN-ACCOUNT EXECUTION
NO VENDOR DATA ACCESS
Built for mandatory auditability
EVIDENCE-FIRST
  • Object-level encryption, not just transport encryption
    Each object is encrypted before crossing cloud boundaries, independent of network‑level transport security.
  • Customer-controlled keys with full visibility into key usage
    Encryption keys remain under customer control. Cloud KMS is used where required, with full customer visibility into key usage.
  • Immutable, append‑only transfer record
    A single, object‑level execution record generated during transfer and suitable for audit and compliance review.
  • Cryptographic integrity verification
    Content hashes are verified before finalizing delivery. Verification events are recorded as evidence.
  • Scoped cryptographic attestation
    Transfer General attests only to transfers it executes, producing evidence for each object it moves.
Scope boundary: Transfer General attests only to transfers it executes.
USE CASE

Regulated Data Migration: AWS → GCP

A regulated organization must migrate sensitive data from AWS to Google Cloud. The data remains in-scope for compliance, must stay encrypted during transfer, and the organization must be able to prove—after the fact—exactly what happened to each object.

Without Transfer General
FRAGMENTED

Teams rely on a combination of AWS-native and GCP-native transfer tools. Data moves, but responsibility and evidence remain fragmented:

  • Security teams design and validate encryption, IAM, and key management across two providers
  • Operations teams monitor transfers, handle retries, and investigate failures manually
  • Audit evidence is reconstructed after the fact by correlating partial logs from multiple systems
  • No cloud provider will attest to activity inside a competitor’s environment
  • Teams can confirm arrival, but cannot produce a single, authoritative, object-level chain-of-custody
With Transfer General
MANAGED + PROOF

Transfer General executes the migration as a managed service

  • Each object is encrypted at the object layer using customer-controlled keys (KMS provisioned when required)
  • Encrypted data is staged, transferred cross-cloud, and finalized entirely within customer cloud accounts
  • Integrity is verified before objects are promoted to the destination bucket
  • Failures are handled deterministically using offset-based re-transfer
  • Each object produces a single, immutable, object-level transfer record
  • Transfer General cryptographically attests to the execution it performed

Operational responsibility shifts away from internal teams. Security, execution, and evidence are delivered together.

How Transfer General Works

Object-level control, end-to-end Proof.

Transfer General executes each transfer at the object level and produces verifiable evidence as part of execution. The walkthrough covers encryption, transfer, verification, retries, and attestation—performed inside customer cloud accounts. Each object is encrypted, transferred, verified, retried deterministically if needed, and finalized with a complete, immutable transfer record and cryptographic attestation.

Transfer General executes each transfer at the object level, entirely within your cloud accounts. Each object is encrypted, transferred, verified, retried deterministically if needed, and finalized with a complete, immutable transfer record and cryptographic attestation.
