Abstract

This paper investigates the use of cloud services in the public sector and management of information security challenges in the procurement of such services. The findings are based on an exploratory approach that included a systematic literature review and a survey among the public agencies and municipalities in Sweden. The literature review is used to derive a conceptual framework that structures our empirical results into the three groups: a) contractual and legal, b) operational and c) managerial competency. The survey explored all these three groups. Our findings show that the information security challenges are mostly related to the potential breaching of national security and laws applicable to cross-border cloud services. Most of the cloud contracts of public organizations are found to be supplier driven. In this case, lack of knowledge and awareness in managing procurement are mostly raised compared to technical risks.
瑞典公共部门云服务采购
本文调查了云服务在公共部门的使用以及在采购此类服务时对信息安全挑战的管理。研究结果基于一种探索性方法,包括系统的文献综述和对瑞典公共机构和市政当局的调查。文献综述用于推导一个概念框架,将我们的实证结果分为三组:a)合同和法律,b)运营和c)管理能力。调查调查了这三组人。我们的调查结果表明,信息安全挑战主要与可能违反国家安全和适用于跨境云服务的法律有关。大多数公共组织的云合同都是由供应商驱动的。在这种情况下,与技术风险相比,在管理采购方面缺乏知识和意识的情况大多会出现。
