Public cloud, leveraging its inherent scalability and cost-efficiency, though it may pose challenges in meeting all regulatory and security requirements without additional configurations.

Private cloud, offering unparalleled security and control over data, but potentially limiting in terms of scalability during peak periods unless supplemented with substantial infrastructure investments.

Hybrid cloud, which strategically combines the security and control of a private cloud with the scalability and flexibility of a public cloud, albeit requiring more sophisticated management to ensure seamless integration and compliance.

Community cloud, shared among several institutions with similar regulatory requirements, offering a balance between security and scalability but may not fully meet the institution's specific needs for control and flexibility.
