The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is actively working to strengthen its cybersecurity measures. To enhance security, order No. 692/nm dated October 15 has approved a new Sectoral Security Profile that contains guidelines for effectively protecting information systems handling open, confidential, and official information.
This document establishes common minimum standards for cybersecurity systems used in the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the State Special Transport Service. It has been developed in accordance with international norms and national legislation, considering the specifics of the defense sector.
“With unified cybersecurity standards, we can more effectively protect our information resources and accelerate the development of new technologies,” stated Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defense for Digital Development.
The main goal of the new profile is to ensure a consistent approach to data protection, enhance cybersecurity levels, and simplify the compliance assessment processes for systems. The profile includes requirements for access, data protection, security monitoring, and recommendations for administrative and technical measures. All units working with the new profile will undergo training on its implementation.
It is worth noting that the sectoral security profile was developed in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated June 18, 2025, No. 712, and is mandatory for all systems handling open, confidential, or official information (except for automated systems of class “1”).
