1. Introduction
The purpose of the report is discussing and evaluating the case study scenario of the the
Department of Administrative Services (DAS) in Australia, where it delivers a number of
services to the departments that are in the patronage by the Australian Government. The
main service that it offers is comprise of HR and personal management, contract,
tendering, contractor management and procurement. The services are depends on the data
centers of the DAS department. (Rittinghouse & Ransome, 2017).
In the light of revised policy change that has been prepared by the Australian
government, the department working under the patronage of system is bound to come
down beneath the shared Service system. In regard of specific system, all the services
under the government that are looked at after by the DAS are instructed to come under
the umbrella of one centralized system under the government. To achieve the goal of
centralizing the system under one unit, the government has confirmed and recommended
the implementation of the new tactic which is known as the CLOUD FIRST process. The
changes by the governmental organization require the assistance of the SAAS solution
and implementation which will buy form a US undertaking company.
In the previous report the development technique and the utilization dynamics of the
SaaS technology for the administration of the HR personal within the DAS infrastructure
has been stated, it has been estimated that the implementation of the SaaS technology was
one of the dynamic process that has been used for achieving the desired result.
(Lewandowski, Salako & Garcia-Perez, 2013).
The SaaS Solutions is called the Software as a Security solution. It belongs with a model
which advances the software for the security operation of the organization. This is

designed by a third party who develops and facilitate the software applications which the
users can access in a form of online web browser page. But there are a number of security
risks associated by the use of SAAS in HR management, which cannot be neglected and
are of crucial importance.
2. The security threats confronted by DAS using SAAS for HR management
The assurance of security of an organization determine the overall strength of cyber
security characteristics of the organization. The security structure of DAS is effected by
the use of SAAS technology for the cloud first technology. The security of Das is
affected in the following ways which includes:
⚫ The Immature identification management has Average likelihood assessed by the
organization or the organization that has applied in the solution in the DAS. The
consequences that has been recorded is high.
⚫ Weak cloud infrastructure can be assessed by the organization that has applied in the
solution in the DAS. The effect that has been recorded is Very High.
⚫ Data security issues is the main problem and has high chances of happening with a Very
High range of impact and high priority standard for the alleviation of the problem.
⚫ The data can be accessed from everywhere so this is the main threat of very high
probability of happening with a High range of impact and high priority standard.
⚫ Data can be located from unknown location and this has very high probability of
happening with a High range of impact and high priority standard has been designed by
the organization.

⚫ There is lack of data logging and monitoring and this has less probability of happening
with a Low range of impact and high priority standard has been set by the organization.
(Tiwari, Kumar & Mishra, 2013). The major issue is related to data safety.
Wherever there is internet availability, the application of the buisness company DAS can be
easily accesse and this is the reason that Saas is most advantageous one but on the other
perspective it also carries some threats along with it. This is the nature of Saas that it is
accessible from everywhere having the internet connectivity. The employees of DAS
will have the ability to login from different kind of systems which are not insecure, if
DAS decides to put together both the email of the company in Gmail. In this way Saas is
very lucrative.. On the other hand, it can also prove to be a drawback of this particular
service. When all the files are saved in the local servers of the systems situated in the
cloud, it becomes very convenient for the maintenance of the control of the different
other documents and emails.
