Abstract

Security issues are paramount when considering adoption of any cloud technology. This article proposes the Secure Cloud Architecture (SeCA) model on the basis of data classifications which defines a properly secure cloud architecture by testing the cloud environment on eight attributes. The SeCA model is developed using a literature review and a Delphi study with seventeen experts, consisting of three rounds. The authors integrate the CI3A—an extension on the CIA-triad—to create a basic framework for testing the classification inputted. The data classification is then tested on regional, geo-spatial, delivery, deployment, governance and compliance, network, premise and encryption attributes. After this testing has been executed, a specification for a secure cloud architecture is outputted.
