The final qualifying work analyzes the information security risks of personal data processing using the example of the customer contracting module for the sales department. Based on the results of this analysis, recommendations were developed for a specific company in terms of increasing the level of security of storage and processing of personal data for the sales department. In the first chapter of the final qualifying work, a list of information security problems in terms of storage and processing of personal data is formulated on the basis of regulatory legal acts. A preliminary analysis of the existing level of information security of a particular organization was carried out on the basis of determining the types of possible threats, building a portrait of a potential intruder, assessing assets, and performing effective analytics in the MSAT software toolkit. Based on the analytics carried out, a list of recommendations was formed to increase the level of information security in terms of storing and processing personal data in the client contracting module of the sales department. In the second chapter of the work, based on the formed recommendations, was carried out a comparative analysis of possible solutions in terms of CRM systems, backup data storage systems, the formation of a separate information security department and the preparation of a company's policy of information security.
