The sub-themes identified were: challenges in securing data, capability of legacy security mechanisms, managerial security awareness, top management support, SETA, security personnel skills, employees’ perception on sensitivity of information assets, regulatory compliance, reputation of BDS vendors and environmental uncertainties. The findings of this study complement current big data, information security and technology adoption research domain. It may also provide organizations with relevant information in formulating security strategies required in a big data environment.
