Methodological Basis for Assessing the Integrated Security of the Enterprise

This paper examines the main types and methodologies for assessing the level of enterprise comprehensive security. The primary goal of the research is to deepen the theoretical foundations and develop methodological provisions for evaluating the level of enterprise comprehensive security. The article proposes using a resource-functional approach to identify the main categories of enterprise resources. Based on this, nine subsystems of comprehensive enterprise security are proposed. The identified subsystems of comprehensive security include financial-economic, physical, ecological, production-technological, intellectual-personnel, informational, politico-legal, organizational-reputational, and relational security. A system of indicators for assessing each security subsystem of the enterprise is formulated. To assess the level of comprehensive security, it is proposed to use aggregate and specific indicators. This allows a deep analysis of security subsystems and identifies reserves for improvement. To evaluate the levels of each component of enterprise comprehensive security, the generalized utility function method is proposed. The paper enhances the methodological foundations for assessing the level of enterprise comprehensive security, which, unlike existing methods, is based on assessing the security of basic enterprise subsystems (according to resource-functional components) using a generalized utility function and integral evaluation. The proposed evaluation methodology takes into account the influence of internal and external factors on the overall level of enterprise security. The developed scale for interpreting the integral level of security helps identify problem areas in production and economic activities and make managerial decisions. This methodology considers the impact of a complex of internal and external factors and allows determining the overall level of enterprise comprehensive security, problem areas in the production and economic activities of enterprises that require managerial decisions. The research findings can be utilized by domestic enterprises during the process of ensuring the necessary level of their security.
