Abstract: The relevance of the article lies in the fact that in the conditions of intensive expansion of information flow information security has become the least protected element of national security, especially in Ukraine. The purpose of the research is to study the effectiveness of the activity of state bodies, to analyse regulatory acts of the Republic of Estonia and to determine the possibility of their adaptation in Ukraine. The features of information security in the Republic of Estonia are considered in the article. It is noted that the main factors that have helped to increase the level of information security in Estonia are the developed information infrastructure, effective cybersecurity policy and reliable protection of personal data. Cybersecurity has been found to depend on combating cybercrime, improving critical infrastructure and e-services, and providing national defence. Practical recommendations are given regarding Ukraine's acquisition of Estonia's experience in the field of information security.

Keywords: information security; cyber security; information infrastructure; personal data; legal mechanisms.
