Microsoft lists the following measure customers should take to block ransomware attacks and prevent data loss:
- Keep your Windows Operating System and antivirus up-to-date. Upgrade to Windows 10.
- Regularly back-up your files in an external hard-drive.
- Enable file history or system protection. In your Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 devices, you must have your file history enabled and you have to setup a drive for file history.
- Use OneDrive for Consumer or for Business.
- Beware of phishing emails, spams, and clicking malicious attachment.
- Use Microsoft Edge to get SmartScreen protection. It will prevent you from browsing sites that are known to be hosting exploits, and protect you from socially-engineered attacks such as phishing and malware downloads.
- Disable the loading of macros in your Office programs.
- Disable your Remote Desktop feature whenever possible.
- Use two factor authentication.
- Use a safe and password-protected internet connection.
- Avoid browsing web sites that are known for being malware breeding grounds (illegal download sites, porn sites, etc.).

The company you choose should be well-supported and well-experienced having done the data migration before.
Moreover, it should have the capability to perform the important tasks that your prior solution did to avoid potential confusion and integration issues.
