Abstract: Cloud computing has revolutionized data management, processing, and storage by offering unparalleled flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. However, these benefits come with significant security challenges. This study presents a comprehensive security assessment framework tailored for cloud environments, designed to identify and mitigate potential security threats. The framework integrates various security measures, including risk assessment, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks. Experimental validation involved deploying the framework in a controlled cloud setup and testing it against simulated security scenarios. Results indicate high effectiveness in risk assessment, with a 90% accuracy rate, and vulnerability scanning, with detection rates exceeding 90% for critical vulnerabilities. Compliance checks show adherence to major standards such as GDPR and HIPAA. While the framework demonstrates robust protection capabilities, areas for improvement include faster incident response times and enhanced user awareness training. Future research should focus on integrating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to further enhance threat detection and response capabilities. This framework offers a robust and adaptable solution for organizations seeking to secure their cloud environments against emerging threats, ensuring continuous protection and regulatory compliance
