Abstract

Abstract. The article discusses the timely issue of applying regulatory requirements in the field of cybersecurity for the preservation of personal data processed in information and communication systems. This is due to the increasing significance of the global Internet network in people's lives, regardless of their location. It is noteworthy that the challenge of personal data protection remains unresolved in any country. However, to ensure a higher guarantee of personal data preservation within one's country, it is crucial to rely on the best practices in this domain. Significant strides have been made in personal data protection within the European Union, prompting the need for research aimed at understanding the regulatory documents that led to these successes. To achieve this, it is imperative to compare the regulatory requirements of Ukraine and the European Union in the realm of personal data protection, giving particular attention to cybersecurity, not just personal data protection. Information and communication systems are the focal point for the primary loss of personal data in contemporary times. The research presented in this article reveals that the regulatory documents of Ukraine and the principal regulatory document of the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which governs the protection of personal data, lack clear and explicit requirements for the cybersecurity of personal data. However, GDPR requirements for personal data protection are more extensive compared to Ukraine's Law “On Personal Data Protection”. Consequently, the relevance of incorporating GDPR norms into Ukraine's regulatory documents on personal data protection is evident. Thus, the result of further research should be the development of specific recommendations for improving regulatory documents in Ukraine aimed at regulating the protection of personal data, based on GDPR regulations. Research on developing the concept of requirements for information and communication systems from the perspective of cybersecurity for preserving personal data is also pertinent.
