MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND PERSONNEL SECURITY: ORGANIZATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF THE ECONOMIC SECURITY SERVICE

Abstract

This research investigates the management of human resources (HRM) and the enhancement of personnel safety, specifically focusing on the influencing factors within the sphere of Information Technology (IT). The study employs a systemic and qualitative approach, involving a comprehensive review of relevant literature and case studies. The analysis draws upon the work of several authors who have explored theoretical approaches in this field, including Varnalii Z. S., Onyshchenko S., Maslii O., Filonych O., Cheberyako O. V., Borysenko O. A., Miedviedkova N. S., Boin A., Hart P., Kuipers S., Antonyan O. A, Didyk A. M., Kuzmin O. Ye., Ortynskyi V. L., Kozachenko H. V., Pohorelov Yu. S., Illiashenko O. V., Martynova L., Karachyna N. P., Vitiuk A. V., Orlova O. M., Kalambet S. V., Kyrylenko B. O. The primary focus is placed on understanding the organizational structure of the enterprise’s security service, particularly in the IT sector. This research investigates Human Resource Management (HRM) and enhancing personnel security, specifically considering influencing factors within the IT sector. The study uses a systemic and qualitative approach, reviewing relevant literature. The structure and functions of the enterprise's economic security service are complex, determined by factors such as the company’s type, size, form of ownership, real needs, degree of information confidentiality, presence of commercial secrets, and the level of internal and external threats and risks. The security service’s core objectives include ensuring strict adherence to current legislation, providing physical protection of assets and personnel, professional training for security staff, evaluating collaborating firms, organizing post interactions, and ensuring the overall economic security of the enterprise. The functional focus of the internal economic security service is multidimensional, encompassing Financial security, Intellectual and Personnel security, Technical and Technological security, Legal security, and crucially, Information Security. Information security functions, which may be carried out by a dedicated specialist or unit, involve the comprehensive collection and analysis of data, forecasting scientific and economic trends, developing security policy, implementing organizational and technical measures to minimize risks, using specialized software, determining access groups, developing a risk management system, and continuously monitoring the security level (controlling). Although detailed structural diagrams for an IT security department as a separate entity are not explicitly provided in the sources, conceptual schematics suggest integrating IT security into the broader economic security service. Effective protection requires a systemic approach involving special technical means, digitization, and continuous training of qualified personnel.
