Abstract

The article examines the conceptual foundations of regulatory and legal provision of information security from the standpoint of various researchers. The analysis of scientific sources made it possible to reveal that the normative and legal provision of information security in general, as well as at the elemental level, is characterized by scientificity, systematicity and has many aspects.

Regulatory and legal support is a scientifically based, consistent system of legal and other means by which civil society and the state influence information relations (implementation of information security, self-regulation) and relations directly related to the development of information security, based on the sequence of tasks and pursued goals that arise before society.

Attention is focused on the main tasks of the state information policy and the goal of the policy of ensuring information security of Ukraine is clarified, which is the formation of an open information society as a space of an integral state, integrating into the global information space, taking into account national characteristics and interests while ensuring information security at the domestic and international levels.

The specific nature of the information security research methodology consists in the integration of scientific knowledge about the ways and means of knowing the legal reality, the laws of its development and their adequate reflection in the formation of the conceptual apparatus.

The main element of the methodology is a system of special legal methods: systemic, synergistic, hermeneutic, historical-legal, comparative-legal and formal-legal.

The state policy of ensuring information security should be based on scientific and methodological developments, systematized and combined into a single concept. It can be presented as a set of national goals, interests and values; strategies and tactics of management decisions and methods of their implementation, which are developed and implemented by the state authorities.
