This article explores the protection of confidential information within electronic document management (EDM) systems. In the modern digital landscape, safeguarding sensitive data is an essential component of organizational cybersecurity. The research examines various approaches to protecting confidential information, including analysis of key methods, tools, and technologies applied in the EDM environment. The study covers modern challenges of information security and evaluates strategies used to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility. Special attention is given to cybersecurity issues, risk mitigation techniques, and mechanisms of secure data exchange. The article compares different security systems, assessing their strengths and weaknesses when applied to electronic document circulation. Encryption, user authentication, access control systems, secure communication protocols, and data masking are considered as part of a comprehensive approach to information protection. The article also addresses how confidential data should be handled within the framework of digital workflows, ensuring compliance with data protection standards and regulations. Key emphasis is placed on the layeredmodel of security, which combines multiple defense techniques to reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.As a result of the conducted analysis, the study identifies the most effective and practical methods and tools for protecting confidential information in EDM systems. The findings can serve as guidance for IT specialists, administrators, and organizations aiming to enhance the security of their document management infrastructure and reduce vulnerability to cyber threats.
