It is indicated that, as of today, information, as a complex phenomenon, plays an important role in our everyday life. In modern realities, the information sphere is not only an environment for the circulation of information, but also a favorable space for the realization of human rights, freedoms and interests. The article substantiates that the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine requires a special approach to the legislative regulation of the information sphere in order to ensure national security. The use of the «Diia» application in difficult conditions is of key importance for coordinating the actions of management structures, military units and other entities whose activities contribute to strengthening the state’s defence capabilities. The legal regulation of the studied phenomenon should provide for clear procedures, responsibilities and restrictions in order to prevent the violation of informational rights and fundamental freedoms of a person and a citizen. Therefore, the expediency of taking into account the fact that in order to speed up digitalization, Ukraine should also actively cooperate with international experts and focus on the experience of digital countries. Only then «Diia» will become a truly powerful tool for the development of the information sphere of Ukraine. To protect national interests, it is necessary to take into account all the risks that arise in the process of digital transformation. Many issues related to the provision of electronic services require detailed study and the search for solutions. After all, every day Ukraine, as a democratic, social and legal state, strives to be one step closer to fully satisfying the important needs of its citizens, including informational ones. Even during the legal regime of martial law, when information has become a psychological weapon, state authorities continue to work on the idea of establishing a digital society. It is obvious that any informational phenomenon or process needs clear legislative regulation. That is why the emergence of the Diia Portal as a tool for providing electronic services caused not only joy, but also confusion among the masses. Considering this, the question of the legal basis for the development of the specified web portal remains relevant, especially in the conditions of war.
