The article raises the issue of protection of personal data as one of the elements of information security of the state. Nowadays, the issue of personal data protec- tion is becoming increasingly important around the world, and protection should be equally provided both online and offline. The main problems that exist in Ukraine include: the lack of a full definition in the legislation of Ukraine «protection of per- sonal data»; the criteria for such protection; inefficiency of the institutional system of prosecution for violations of the legislation on personal data protection implement- ed by the Secretariat of the Ombudsman. The author also emphasizes the need to adopt a Draft data protection law. The key objective of the Draft Law is to align the Ukrainian data protection landscape with the General Data Protection Regulation.
