A Cloud Adoption Risk Assessment Model

Cloud Adoption Risk Assessment Model is designed for cloud customers to assess the risks that they face by selecting a specific cloud service provider. It is an expert system to evaluate various background information obtained from cloud customers, cloud service providers and other public external sources, and to analyze various risk scenarios. This would facilitate cloud customers in making informed decision to select the cloud service provider with the most preferable risk profile.
