Cloud computing has enabled small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to access scalable and cost-effective information technology resources. However, security concerns have been a major barrier inhibiting SME adoption of cloud services for e-commerce. This research aims to examine how secure cloud computing solutions can encourage greater SME participation in e-commerce. A systematic literature review was conducted to understand the key security challenges faced by SMEs in cloud adoption and common security measures employed by cloud providers. The Technology-Organization-Environment framework was used to develop a conceptual model outlining how secure cloud platforms can address SME concerns and boost e-commerce engagement. Four research questions and five objectives were formulated to guide the study. The findings provide implications for both cloud providers seeking to design secure solutions tailored for SME needs and for policymakers aiming to support digital transformation of local businesses.
