Review of Russian legislation in the field of information security. Information and Information Security Law

The law "On Information, Informatization and Information Protection" dated February 20, 1995 No. 24-FZ (adopted by the State Duma on January 25, 1995) should be considered fundamental among Russian laws on information security issues. It gives the main definitions and outlines the directions for the development of legislation in this area.

Let's quote some of these definitions:

    information - information about persons, objects, facts, events, phenomena and processes, regardless of the form of their presentation;

    documented information (document) - information recorded on a material carrier with details that allow its identification;

    information processes - processes of collection, processing, accumulation, storage, search and dissemination of information;

    Information system - an organizationally ordered set of documents (arrays of documents) and information technologies, including the use of computer technology and communication tools that implement information processes;

    informational resources - individual documents and individual arrays of documents, documents and arrays of documents in information systems (libraries, archives, funds, data banks, other information systems);

    information about citizens (personal data)- information about the facts, events and circumstances of the life of a citizen, allowing to identify his personality;

    confidential information - documented information, access to which is restricted in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;

    user (consumer) of information- a subject applying to an information system or an intermediary to obtain the information he needs and using it.

We will of course not discuss the quality of the data in the Law of Definitions. Let us only pay attention to the flexibility of defining confidential information, which is not limited to information constituting a state secret, as well as to the concept of personal data, which lays the foundation for the protection of the latter.

The law identifies the following goals for information protection:

    prevention of leakage, theft, loss, distortion, falsification of information;

    prevention of threats to the security of the individual, society, state;

    prevention of unauthorized actions to destroy, modify, distort, copy, block information;

    prevention of other forms of unlawful interference in information resources and information systems, ensuring the legal regime of documented information as an object of property;

    protection of the constitutional rights of citizens to maintain personal secrecy and confidentiality of personal data available in information systems;

    preservation of state secrets, confidentiality of documented information in accordance with the law;

    ensuring the rights of subjects in information processes and in the development, production and application of information systems, technologies and means of their support.

Note that the Law puts the preservation of confidentiality of information in the first place. Integrity is also presented quite fully, although in second place. Very little has been said about accessibility ("prevention of unauthorized actions to ... block information").

Let's continue quoting:

"Any documented information, mishandling of which may cause damage to its owner, owner, user or other person, is subject to protection."

In fact, this provision states that the protection of information is aimed at ensuring the interests of the subjects of information relations.

    in relation to information classified as state secrets - by authorized bodies on the basis of the Law of the Russian Federation "On State Secrets";

    in relation to confidential documented information - by the owner of information resources or an authorized person on the basis of this Federal Law;

    in relation to personal data - by federal law."

Here, three types of protected information are clearly distinguished, the second of which includes, in particular, commercial information. Since only documented information is subject to protection, a necessary condition is the fixation of commercial information on a tangible medium and the supply of its details. Note that in this part of the Law we are talking only about confidentiality; other aspects of information security are forgotten.

Let us note that the protection of state secrets and personal data is undertaken by the state; other confidential information is the responsibility of its owners.

How to protect information? As a basic law, it proposes powerful universal means for this purpose: licensing and certification. Let's quote article 19.

    Information systems, databases and data banks intended for information services for citizens and organizations are subject to certification in the manner prescribed by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Certification of Products and Services".

    Information systems of state authorities of the Russian Federation and state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, other state bodies, organizations that process documented information with restricted access, as well as the means of protecting these systems are subject to mandatory certification. The procedure for certification is determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

    Organizations performing work in the field of design, production of information security tools and processing of personal data receive licenses for this type of activity. The procedure for licensing is determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

    The interests of the consumer of information when using imported products in information systems are protected by the customs authorities of the Russian Federation on the basis of an international certification system.

Here it is difficult to refrain from a rhetorical question: are there any information systems in Russia without imported products? It turns out that in this case, only customs is protecting the interests of consumers ...

And a few more points, now from Article 22:

2. The owner of documents, an array of documents, information systems ensures the level of information protection in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

3. The risk associated with the use of non-certified information systems and means of their support lies with the owner (owner) of these systems and means. The risk associated with the use of information obtained from a non-certified system lies with the consumer of the information.

4. The owner of documents, an array of documents, information systems may apply to organizations that certify the means of protecting information systems and information resources in order to analyze the sufficiency of measures to protect his resources and systems and obtain advice.

5. The owner of documents, an array of documents, information systems is obliged to notify the owner of information resources and (or) information systems about all facts of violation of the information protection regime.

From point 5 it follows that all (successful) attacks on the IP should be detected. Recall in this regard one of the results of the survey (see lecture 1): about a third of American respondents did not know if their IP had been hacked in the last 12 months. Under our law, they could be prosecuted...

2. The protection of the rights of subjects in this area is carried out by the court, the arbitration court, the arbitration court, taking into account the specifics of the offenses and the damage caused. Very important are the paragraphs of article 5 concerning the legal effect electronic document and electronic digital signature:

3. The legal force of a document stored, processed and transmitted using automated information and telecommunication systems may be confirmed by an electronic digital signature. The legal force of an electronic digital signature is recognized if there are software and hardware tools in the automated information system that ensure the identification of the signature, and if the established mode of their use is observed.

4. The right to certify the identity of an electronic digital signature is exercised on the basis of a license. The procedure for issuing licenses is determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Thus, the Law offers an effective means of controlling the integrity and solving the problem of "non-repudiation" (the inability to refuse one's own signature).

These are, in our opinion, the most important provisions of the Law "On Information, Informatization and Information Protection". On the next page, other laws of the Russian Federation in the field of information security will be considered.

Information security is a field of science that studies the data protection of a particular (state or commercial) enterprise. Specialists (auditors) check information channels to ensure the protection of classified data.

All channels of classified data are checked for a sufficient level of protection. If a specialist finds a flaw in the file system, he must immediately notify the management of the enterprise.

The main laws that relate to the field of information security:

  • . regulates relations between public authorities during the search for important information and ensures the information security of personal data;
  • . The Federal Law regulates relations between executive authorities and determines the methods for licensing certain types of activities;
  • . The Federal Law lists the areas of activity in which an electronic digital signature is used in order to ensure information security. For example: purchase of goods, provision of services, etc.;
  • . regulates the relations that arise in the production of various goods. The description of technical goods must correspond to their real characteristics in accordance with the provisions on information security.

There is also Federal Safety Law 390. Details

Currently, the current legislation has in its base a normative document that regulates the procedure, rules and requirements for the provision of information. What it is, few know, and even more so those who have nothing to do with jurisprudence. Some of the nuances and norms of this legal act are set out in this article.

Glossary of terms used in the law

Some of the terms and definitions that are used in the named normative act are more clearly defined by the legislator so that citizens do not have doubts or ambiguous understanding. So, among these definitions are the following:

  1. Information from the point of view of the specified document means any information that can be expressed in the form of messages or in another form. Moreover, they can be provided to third parties in any form.
  2. Information technologies - all kinds of ways, methods, processes provided for by law that are used to detect, store, use and apply information.
  3. The owner of information is the person who produced it on his own or received it on the basis of any transaction provided for by law from other persons. The owner can also be a legal entity.
  4. Providing information - this definition refers to any actions that are aimed at transferring it from one person to another. In this case, the recipient can be both a specific person and an indefinite circle of recipients.
  5. Access to information is a legally and physically secured opportunity for recipients to acquire information. The types and forms of this access are determined by the relevant regulatory documents that regulate individual specific legal relationships in people's lives.
  6. Confidentiality is a requirement that is imposed on persons who have gained access to information, and consists in a ban on their disclosure without the permission of the owner of the information.

Here are just a few of the concepts. For more complete information about all the definitions used in you need to look directly into it.

Types of information

So what is information? The Law "On Information, Information Technologies and Protection of Information" reveals its essence as an object of legal relations. It can be a direct object of not only civil legal relations, but also public, and power, and others. As a general rule, the information received is free to distribute. That is, the person who received it has the right to transfer it to other persons. However, this rule applies only in cases where it is not confidential. Confidentiality, in turn, can be established both on the basis of an agreement concluded between the parties, and on the basis of legislation. For example, the law regulating operational-search activity establishes the secrecy of information. Access to it can only be obtained by persons specially endowed with such a right. Providing confidential information is possible only with the consent of its owner or on the basis of a judicial act.

Based on the above, it can be divided into the following categories:

  • distributed freely and without restrictions;
  • distribution of which is possible only in accordance with the agreement;
  • distribution of which is possible only on the basis of laws;
  • distribution of which is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation or restricted.

Information holders

Let's consider in more detail who is the owner of the information. regulating this issue, it is established that such persons can be individuals, organizations, as well as the Russian Federation itself. Also, the subjects of the Russian Federation and municipalities can be owners. If the person in question is the last three named entities, then on their behalf the rights and obligations are exercised by the relevant authorized officials. The powers of all holders include the following powers:

  • provide or partially provide access to information, establish the procedure for providing information and methods of this access;
  • use proprietary information as you see fit;
  • provide information to other persons by concluding an agreement or in cases specified by law;
  • defend your rights to information if they are violated by third parties;
  • exercise other rights provided for or not prohibited by law.

In addition to rights, the owner also has certain obligations. These include observance of the interests of third parties, their legal rights. The information owner must also protect the information at his disposal, and if it is confidential, then restrict access to it.

public information

This type includes all the information that is in the public domain. Usually this is also information that does not have restricted access. Providing information that is not limited to anyone is essentially free of charge. However, it may have an owner who may require that the persons using it indicate him as the owner.

Right to information

Citizens and legal entities can receive information by any not prohibited methods. They can search for it in all public resources or write a request for information. An example is the Internet, where an unlimited amount of free data is freely available. In addition, these persons have the right to demand that they obtain the information they need from state bodies or other organizations. A request for information is sent by him to the owner of the information of interest, who, in turn, considers the request, and if the requested is not protected by law, is not limited to distribution, then transfers the information to the applicant. It is understood that a person has the right to receive them if they affect his rights and obligations. a list has been established to which access cannot be prohibited or otherwise limited. This information:

  • on the state of the environment;
  • on the implementation by state bodies of their activities;
  • on laws and other normative acts;
  • located in libraries and other places open to the public;
  • another, permitted for distribution.

To receive them, you need to draw up a letter of information and submit it to the appropriate authority.

Access limitation

General provisions for restricting access are established in Art. 9 of the normative act in question. It states that these forms of providing information are regulated by the laws of the Russian Federation. This may be due to various factors. One of them is considered: the protection of the constitutional order of the country, the health and safety of people, their interests, as well as to preserve the defense capability of Russia. This, of course, is not all the reasons for restricting access. The legislator has determined that the restriction can be subdivided depending on the nature of the confidentiality of the information. So, she may have a banking, official or any other. Accordingly, depending on the type of information, they are regulated by a special law. For example, the procedure for protecting and disseminating bank secrecy is described in the legislation governing banking activities. It is in it that the procedure for disclosing information is described, as well as the cases and persons to whom it can be transferred.

Spreading

In order to provide information, the regulatory document determines that its distribution takes place in Russia freely, but only in accordance with the laws. It is also determined that the disseminated information must be reliable. This requirement applies not only to the content of the information itself, but also to information about the owner or distributor. In other words, the person receiving the information should freely (if desired) find out who disseminated it. For example, a site that places a message on the Internet must indicate its name (name of organization or full name of a citizen), place of registration or location where you can find the owner (distributor), other contact information, in including telephones and email addresses. Special requirements apply to such methods of distribution as transmission by sending electronic messages or by postal letters. In such cases, the sender is obliged to provide the recipient with the opportunity to opt out of receiving this information. An obvious example is the promotional SMS mailing, which senders can send to their customers only after receiving the appropriate permission from them.

Fixing

The forms for providing information provide that in some cases the information transferred by the parties to each other must be documented. This obligation is assigned to counterparties either by law or by an agreement signed between them. In state bodies, documentation is mandatory, and it is carried out in the manner determined by the government. For this purpose, special rules are issued. For the purposes of implementation between citizens, as well as between organizations, including state ones, the procedure for using an electronic signature is established. In certain situations, the parties are required to transfer information using such a signature.

Protection

The analyzed law “On Information, Information Technologies and Protection of Information” establishes the measures that must be taken by the state and other persons in order to protect it. So, among the list of these measures there are organizational, technical and, of course, legal measures. They are undertaken by stakeholders to:

  • the safety of information from encroachment on them by third parties, from their subsequent commission of any illegal actions, from destruction, copying or distribution of information;
  • maintaining secrecy;
  • providing access to information.

The state, exercising its functions, is obliged to take the necessary actions for protection. They are expressed in the establishment of minimum requirements for relations related to obtaining information, as well as in determining liability for their unlawful disclosure or other illegal actions. Security requirements include, in particular:

  1. Prevention of unauthorized access and subsequent transfer to third parties who do not have the right to do so.
  2. If possible, establish the facts of illegal access.
  3. Prevention of negative results that may occur in case of violation of the established procedure for obtaining information.
  4. Constant control.

A responsibility

As mentioned above, one of the functions of the state is to establish measures aimed at protecting information. For these purposes, the legislature enacts laws and other regulations that provide for liability for the misuse of information. Responsibility, of course, is graded depending on the degree of socially dangerous act. It may be provided for by various laws and codes. So, if the violation is very serious, then criminal liability can be applied to the perpetrator. Slightly less dangerous actions may entail liability established by administrative law. As a rule, punishment for such offenses is limited to fines. If the offense of the guilty person has no signs of either a criminal or an administrative act, then liability may be disciplinary (if the offender is an employee).

Thus, the considered law defines only the main provisions regulating the relations between the parties. More detailed information about how it is distributed, what terms for providing information and other important points are determined by special regulations issued for certain legal relations. Following all the norms of the law by both the owners and the recipient of information in the aggregate will ensure its proper circulation, will not allow violation of the rights and interests of other citizens and organizations by third parties.
