Information security is a field of science that studies the data protection of a particular (state or commercial) enterprise. Specialists (auditors) check information channels to ensure the protection of sensitive data.

All channels of classified data are checked for a sufficient level of protection. If a specialist finds a flaw in file system, he must immediately notify the management of the enterprise.

The main laws that relate to the field of information security:

  • . regulates relations between public authorities during the search for important information and ensures the information security of personal data;
  • . The Federal Law regulates relations between executive authorities and determines the methods for licensing certain types of activities;
  • . The Federal Law lists the areas of activity in which electronic digital signature in order to ensure information security. For example: purchase of goods, provision of services, etc.;

1. Access is restricted in accordance with the law.

2. The purpose of the restriction is to protect the foundations of the constitutional order, morality, health, rights and legitimate interests of others, to ensure the defense of the country and the security of the state.

To build a system of information with limited access, it is necessary to proceed from the essence of its protection, i.e. interest pursued by protecting information. The following gradation of interests seems logical:

1) public interest- protection of information resources of national importance (including state secrets);

2) commercial interest- the interest of economic entities in limiting access to information in order to obtain advantages in competition;

3) protection of personal rights- inviolability of personal life and related professional secrets, as well as non-property rights not related to property.

1) only documented information is subject to protection;

2) the information must comply with the restrictions established by law;

It is prohibited to require a citizen (individual) to provide information about his private life, including information constituting a personal or family secret, and to receive such information against the will of the citizen (individual), unless otherwise provided by the Federal Law.

2) regime of information classified as state secrets.

State secrets fall into two categories:

a) state secret- state secrets, the disclosure or loss of which may entail grave consequences for the national security of the country, as well as pose a threat to the security of citizens or their constitutional rights and freedoms. The protection of information constituting a state secret is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on state secrets.

b) Official secret- state secrets, the disclosure or loss of which may cause significant harm to the national security of the country, as well as to the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens.

Information received by citizens (individuals) in the performance of their professional duties or organizations in the course of their implementation of certain types of activities ( trade secret ) is subject to protection in cases where these persons are required by federal laws to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Information constituting a professional secret may be provided to third parties in accordance with federal laws and (or) by a court decision. The term for fulfilling the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of information constituting a professional secret may be limited only with the consent of the citizen (individual) who provided such information about himself.
