The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of cloud technologies by enterprises of all sizes. While large enterprises faced challenges with initial adoption due to complex decision-making processes, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) rapidly embraced cloud solutions to ensure business continuity and competitive agility. However, the exponential growth in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments has introduced significant governance challenges, particularly for SMEs with limited resources and expertise. This paper explores the trends in cloud adoption, focusing on the challenges faced by SMEs in managing technology risks, such as data governance, operational inefficiencies, and financial oversight. It highlights the gaps in existing frameworks and proposes a comprehensive governance approach tailored for SMEs to address these issues effectively. The findings are supported by a case study and existing research, providing actionable insights for SMEs to establish resilient governance structures in a multi-cloud environment.
