“…However, high availability comes with security risks during the process of transferring information between parties (Pieters 2011). Responsibility and accountability issues can also be a concern as it is unclear whether data is secured at all times and whom takes responsibility for the maintenance and backup of the information held in the cloud (Kouatli 2016). Locating data due to the practice of data replication in the cloud can also prove very difficult as the system in use may automatically replicate data to different locations all across the world.…”

The arrival of new technologies has opened a window of opportunity for UK higher education institutions. Although UK Higher education (HE) has recently become a huge phenomenon owing to an increase in students attending University, many UK universities are not investing enough in technology to facilitate teaching, management and research practices that aim to improve the student experience. This paper discusses the potential for an information system solution, which can facilitate the institutional practices in UK HEIs from multiple stakeholder perspectives. An existing system employed at a UK University known as "MyPGR" was evaluated in order to shed some light on the existing technical problems UK Universities are currently facing, with the support of a soft systems approach (CATWOE). The proposed solution is the Educational-Monitoring-and-Progression-as-a-Service (EMPaaS), which is based on the Cloud Computing model. EMPaaS has the potential to monitor student progression and key milestones relating to their PGR programme, in addition to enabling students to use free cloud applications to keep track of milestones and progressions. The highly accessible and flexible nature of cloud applications adds to the cost-effectiveness of adopting cloud services, which in turn frees up additional funds for UK Universities to pursue other important investments.

Abstract-Cloud computing is developing as an efficient and viable model of delivering IT services. The challenges posed to-date by security are not to be underestimated with regard to cloud computing adoption. The study assesses the security challenges associated with cloud computing adoption and proposes a framework to assist early adopters of the technology model to address them. Various sections of the literature have indicated that security challenges are a great source of concern in the adoption and usage of cloud computing, and a comprehensive framework is vital to assess previous studies conducted in this area. This study would like to propose viable mechanisms to address these challenges. The study surveyed 380 participants in Gauteng, South Africa to assess the level of agreement and disagreement about the security challenges in cloud computing. The study used a quantitative method to analyse the findings.Keywords: Security in cloud computing, privacy in cloud computing, authentication and validation, risks in cloud computing, availability in cloud computing, trust and transparency, data recovery and backup in cloud computing. I. INTRODUCTIONSecurity in cloud computing is one of the most talked about topics in the literature and this study pays attention to security challenges associated with cloud computing adoption. With the current trends and advances in cloud computing, there seems to be a consensus in the literature that security in cloud computing is real and it needs to be addressed. The aim of this paper is to propose viable mechanisms in order to minimise the impact of security challenges in cloud computing. While cloud computing is praised for its tremendous benefits that the technology model offers, decision-makers are faced with unpleasant challenges to minimise the impact of security aspects in cloud computing. Studies conducted in this regard indicate that users and organisations are considering adopting cloud computing technology in order to achieve their business goals. On one hand there is a need and excitement among users and organisations to adopt cloud computing, and on the other hand the potential for security challenges is real and mechanisms to address these challenges are critical for an effective adoption of the technology model. The aim of this study is to propose guidelines and viable mechanisms on how to minimise the impact of security challenges associated with cloud computing adoption.
