Exploring Data Risk and Information Technology Governance in the Cloud Computing Environment for Taiwan's Banking Industry

摘要

Although cloud computing services are the future trends for many industries that is highly taken for granted, however, in recent, the growing events of data leakage and information security in the banking industry have forced banks and other industries to carefully evaluate data risk and information technology (IT) governance while adopting any cloud-computing services. From literature review, prior studies put very limited accent on data risk management and IT governance in Clouding Computing environment for the banking industry. Therefore, exploring data risk management and IT governance in Clouding Computing environment have hold the spotlight of the government, industry and academia. So, this study aims to explore these two issues. The research findings revealed that information regulations compliance, data risk awareness and information skills of bank's employees are positively related to the information security maturity of banks. The seniority and age of bank's employees are significant mediators for the relationship between data risk and information security maturity in the cloud computing environment. Gender of bank's employees is not a significant mediator.
