FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF ARCHITECTURE OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF BUSINESS ENTITIES IN A TRANSFORMATIONAL ECONOMY

Abstract

The article substantiates the theoretical and methodological foundations for forming the system of architectonics of financial and economic security of business entities in a transformational economy. The relevance of this research is driven by the unprecedented instability of the contemporary business environment and the emergence of multidimensional threats – ranging from geopolitical and financial shocks to digital, cyber and reputational risks – which significantly weaken the economic resilience and competitive positions of enterprises. The study introduces an author’s conceptual model of the architectonics of financial and economic security, which consists of strategic and target-setting, institutional and regulatory, functional and process, resource and infrastructure, communication and adaptive, as well as assessment and analytical blocks. The interconnection and complementarity of these components ensure the structural integrity of the system and its capability for proactive, preventive risk management rather than reactive crisis response. The article demonstrates that the key distinction of the proposed architectonics lies in the transition from fragmented protective measures to a comprehensive security management paradigm based on scenario forecasting, adaptive planning and the integration of digital monitoring and protection technologies. The developed model may serve as a methodological framework for strategic decision-making, compliance management, security auditing, crisis response programming, and the management of investment, financial, operational and reputational risks. Practical implementation of these approaches strengthens financial sustainability, improves investor confidence, enhances long-term competitiveness, and creates a secure environment for business development during post-crisis reconstruction and economic modernization. The research results establish a conceptual basis for further development of quantitative methods and national standards for designing security architectonics, contributing to the formation of an innovative ecosystem of economic security for entrepreneurship.
