%X Cybersecurity is the study of protecting information and systems. One of the most secure ways of protecting information online is through cloud services when used appropriately. In St. Mary¡¯s university, cloud computing adaption has rapidly grown and evolved over the years. However, the protection and safety of students and staff¡¯s information is still unsteady, which prompted the evaluation and survey of this research. In this paper, a risk analysis is performed on one of the university¡¯s cloud portal (canvas) to identify and mitigate potential security vulnerabilities found in the portal. Once the vulnerabilities have been identified, the university¡¯s existing controls, risks, likelihood, and impact levels are then mapped to a risk register. Suggested and reliable security controls according to NIST SP 800-53A are then implemented to mitigate these vulnerabilities. The last phase of the analysis, risk monitoring is implemented using the NIST 800-39 risk monitoring plan.
