Abstract
Cloud Computing has become increasingly important for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises because of its cost-effective benefits. However, the adoption of Cloud Computing over the recent years raised challenging issues with regard to privacy and security. In this study, we explored and presented the findings of the influence of privacy and security on Cloud adoption by SMEs. Based on a survey of SMEs across Australia, we analysed the data using structural equation modelling. We found that Cloud privacy and Cloud security are major concerns for SMEs to adopt Cloud computing. The study findings are useful for IT practitioners and regulatory bodies to understand how SMEs consider privacy and security issues for Cloud adoption.
