Abstract: The main purpose of this research study is to analyse a critical analysis of the key \nchallenges associated with information security and GDPR and its impact on \ncloud-computing analysts. In the global business environment, the issue with \ninformation security is continuously increasing such as data theft, leaking of \nconfidential data of individuals, and using personal information of individuals of \nillegal purpose. The utilisation of cloud computing is increased by the different \nindividual for the purpose of saving personal data, which also increase the illegal \nactivities by hackers. The hackers are using advanced technologies as compared to the \norganisational security systems that negatively affect the confidential data of the \nindividuals. In this context, the European Union has announced the implementation of \nGDPR in the year 2016 for the purpose of securing the confidential data of the users. \nUnder the GDPR, the organisations are required to give full control to the users over \ntheir data so that they can manage their personal data. This can help the service \nproviders to enhance the security level for cloud computing platforms. In addition, for \naddressing the aim of the present research study, the qualitative method is adopted \nbecause this research requires more in-depth and original information of this research. \nIn this relation, the data is acquired by conducting an interview with 6 cloud \ncomputing analysts who are working in multinational companies in the UK. Moreover, \nthrough the thematic method, the interview data is interpreted appropriate and helped \nin presenting credible results. The results of the research are that the cloud computing \nanalysts are confronting varied challenges associated with the information security \nand implication of GDPR such as increasing hacking activities, data theft issues, and \ncompliance with the policies of GDPR. In this relation, varied strategic measures are \npresented in this research study for addressing the issue with information security and \n5 implementing the GDPR in an organisation.
