Last year was marked with numerous standards that regulate information security issues, such as a new edition of the Law ‘On Personal Data’, the Law ‘On National Payment System’, government regulations on licensure of business in the field of information security. And greater reinforcement is yet to come, so the outlined tendency of ‘tightening the screw’ in the field will be continued. We are to expect the new laws to be commented and interpreted and the Law ‘On Electronic Signature’ to enter into force and be followed up with subordinate acts. The near future will bring a framework of normative regulations for the electronic inter-governmental interaction system developing, and rigid requirement of the Internet control… Moreover, since the end of 2011, government institutions related to the field of information security – the State Duma and the field-oriented ministries – have been undergoing structural changes. All these trends should be taken into consideration not only when preapring a long-term strategy, but in the day-to-day management of information security processes.
