The article examines the mechanism of ensuring information security of individuals. The author emphasizes that there is a tendency in legislation to presume information security. This is one of the legal means to ensure information security and protect the rights of information owners. This presumption performs several important functions: it ensures the legality of actions with information, guarantees the fact of information security, protects the rights of participants in information legal relations, and allows to assess the significance and value of information. Users of information subject to the presumption of information security assess its significance on the basis of law or contract. The study of the mechanism for ensuring information security of individuals requires taking into account three key components: technical means of protection, legal regulation and educational component. Each of these elements plays an important role in creating a reliable system for protecting personal data from threats in the digital environment. Modern technical means of protection, legal regulation, and the role of education in raising public awareness of information security are studied. The effectiveness of various personal data protection measures and their impact on the formation of a security culture in society are analyzed. The key conclusions of the study are that the introduction of modern technological solutions significantly reduces the risks associated with cyberattacks; the existence of clear legal norms and control mechanisms ensures the protection of individuals’ rights to information security; raising public awareness of the basics of information security creates a culture of security in society. Opportunities for further development in this area may include the following: the introduction of new methods of data protection, taking into account modern threats in cyberspace; expanding research in the field of legal regulation to adapt legislation to changing conditions; improving training programs for various groups of the population with an emphasis on the practical aspects of information security. The article also identifies unresolved issues in this area and offers recommendations for further development of information security mechanisms.
