【Abstract】Confidential documents in possession of government agencies are considered as assets that must be protected. Government agencies have started implementing cloud data storage systemsto document data in a centralized network.However, this data storage system has been well-known as being threatened bydata security, integrity, and data availability risks. On the other hand, blockchain technology, a decentralized, fast, secure, transparent, and recorded data storage system, is considered as the solution for mitigatingthese risks. Therefore, this study aims to identify the dominant risk factors ofimplementingthe cloud computing storage system in government agencies potentially impacting its organizational performance and developingarisk-based data storage system that considers blockchain technology. This research used questionnaire surveys, case studies, and expert interviews to obtain its research objectives. The results demonstratedthat six dominant risks includeddata theft and breaches, data corruption caused by virus attacks, limited storage space, data loss caused by system damage, data being accessed without particular access rights, and lack of guaranteesfrom the system when a security threat occurred. Amodel for the blockchain-based cloud data storage system is proposed to address these risksand to improvethe organizational performance of government agencies.Keywords:Blockchain;Cloud; Data storage system; Government agencies1.IntroductionTo carry out its duties and functions mandated by law,government agencies requirethorough data protection systems (Hill, 2014). Confidential documents and classified information in these agencies are considered asgovernment assets that must be protectedduring use, storage, or transmission of information through the application of policies, education, and technology (Whitman andMattord, 2018). Therefore, a secure data storage system in government agencies is needed, particularly foragencies that possess confidential data and information in their documents, considering the large volume andthehigh value of informationthat must be managed and protectedfrom all possible threats.Like many other countries, Indonesia has widely implemented cloud storage systems to document data and information in its government agencies.
