Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research project involves development of a conceptual model that user entities effectively monitor security risk and control in a cloud vendor. Using continuous monitoring techniques of risk profiles in systemized form provides an effective means of analyzing risk and control information in a cloud vendor.　User entities can gather useful information through on-demand access the monitoring database or the internal auditor’s assurance report in a cloud vendor.
