Abstract
Cloud computing has taken over most of the
organizations IT departments operations and is making
headlines across the globe. Despite cloud computing benefits,
security issues and challenges remains a priority concern. The
Namibian government is prompt to contemplate solutions that
are cost effective and deliver efficient and effective information
and communication technology services to her people. This
paper presents a Secure Cloud Adoption framework (SCAF)
for the Namibian government IT departments, a case study for
Office of the Prime Minister and Ministry of Urban and Rural
Development IT departments. Design Science Research (DSR)
strategy was used to develop the SCAF framework. The
framework consists of four components namely: organizational
factors, technological enablers, environmental factors and
users characteristics. The study reveals that SCAF can safe
guide the Namibian government IT departments on how to
adopt cloud computing with minimum security risks.
