In the context of the collective West waging an economic and information war against Russia, the level of responsibility for ensuring the information security of managerial and economic activities in fuel and energy complex (fuel and energy complex) organizations is significantly increased, in particular in the process of selecting and handling information to be included in the state information system of the fuel and energy complex. We are talking about the allocation of up-to-date information in the fuel and energy sector organizations about the state and forecast of the development of the fuel and energy sector and its protection with the help of established legal regimes of state, official and commercial secrets, since the leakage and illegal use of such information can cause significant harm to the individual, society and the state. Protected confidential information circulates in fuel and energy sector organizations along with open information, however, there are difficulties in determining the degree of confidential such information when it is included in the state information system of the fuel and energy sector. The author analyzes the legislative and corporate regulation of relations in the field of information security of the fuel and energy complex, substantiates the content of the list of information constituting confidential information, and suggests a methodology for determining the degree of confidentiality of information in fuel and energy organizations.
