In the multi-cloud tenancy environments, Web Service offers an standard approach for discovering and using capabilities in an environment that transcends ownership domains. This brings into concern the ownership and security related to Web Service governance. Our approach for this issue involves an ESB-integrated middleware for security criteria regulation on Clouds. It uses an attribute-based security policy model for the exhibition of assets consumers' security profiles and deducing service accessing decision. Assets represent computing power/functionality and information/data provided by entities. Experiments show the middleware to bring minor governance burdens on the hardware aspect, as well as better performance with colosum scaling property, dealing well with cumbersome policy files, which is probably the situation of complex composite service scenarios.
