THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PROVISIONS FOR DEVELOPING THE ARCHITECTONICS OF THE SYSTEM OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN A TRANSFORMATIONAL ECONOMY

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations for developing the architectonics of the financial and economic security system of entrepreneurship in the context of a transformational economy. It is substantiated that the contemporary economic environment marked by institutional instability, asymmetry of regulatory changes, the rapid expansion of digital financial relations, and the intensification of non-linear and systemic risks requires a fundamental rethinking of traditional concepts and mechanisms of business security. The study highlights the necessity of developing a new architectural paradigm of financial and economic security based on the principles of integration, multilevel configuration, proactiveness, adaptability, preventive monitoring, and entrepreneurial resilience as a systemic property. It is argued that effective financial and economic security must combine strategic risk management, crisis response, analytical forecasting, digital monitoring of business processes, and reliable cybersecurity tools within a single structural and functional framework that ensures the coordination of protective measures on operational, tactical, and strategic levels. The article proposes methodological approaches to structural modeling of the architectonics of financial and economic security that consider the multi-vector impact of transformational changes in market infrastructure, the uneven evolution of institutions, geopolitical turbulence, and the influence of digital platforms and artificial intelligence technologies on the configuration of financial flows and economic interactions. Special attention is paid to the role of digital transformation and its dual nature simultaneously serving as a source of new opportunities for competitive growth and a generator of unprecedented threats that are difficult to detect and neutralize using classical analytical methods. The findings conclude that the formation of an upgraded security architectonics should enable enterprises to forecast threats in advance, minimize the consequences of shocks, preserve resource stability, and promptly reestablish functionality, which is critically important for maintaining long-term development and strengthening the competitiveness of entrepreneurship under the conditions of structural changes and global challenges. Prospects for further research include empirical validation of the proposed theoretical and methodological provisions, as well as the development of mechanisms to ensure their regulatory, organizational, and technological implementation at the level of real business practices.
