Decision-making in the formation of quality management systems for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2015 should be a strategically important area of activity for enterprises in the service sector, and should be based on the use of effective methods, measures, methodology, and other quality management tools. The aim of this article is to study the existing methodological approaches to the evaluation of the quality management systems of enterprises and to develop effective practical tools for their application in the field of engineering services. The existing methodological approaches to the evaluation of the quality management systems of enterprises are considered, and attention is focused on the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Directions for the estimation of the quality management systems of enterprises in the sphere of engineering services on the basis of requirements of the international stan-

The article examines the main trends of digitization of the economy in modern conditions. The formation and development of the digital economy allows for movement, obtaining information, goods and services and is a fundamental trend in the development of all spheres of economic activity. The development of digital technologies in the economic sphere contributes to the further increase in the efficiency of the socio-economic systems and the improvement of the well-being of the country's population as a whole. The digital economy also promotes the development of business and opens up new opportunities for it. There is no doubt that the digital economy has significant advantages and opportunities, but on the other hand, the implementation of the digital economy is associated with some risks and problems that require the state, society and business to adapt to new realities. Traditional definitions of the digital economy are related to the sale and supply of goods and services over the Internet. However, it should be noted that nowadays the boundaries of this concept have expanded significantly. We agree with the point of view of scientists that the digital economy is a separate type of economy and from this point of view we offer our own definition of the digital economy. The article analyzes world ratings and international indices used to analyze the formation and development of the digital economy, with the aim of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the process of formation and development of the digital economy. As an information base, we chose eight world ratings and international indexes: the world rating of the country's global competitiveness, the World Bank rating, the rating based on the digital economy and society index, the global connectivity index, the business conditions rating, the network readiness index, the global innovation index. It was established that the main indicators of these ratings, which are used to determine the development of the digital economy of the country, are the quality of education, the level of development of education and science, the digital literacy of the population, the quality and timeliness of the regulatory and legal framework, technical and technological conditions, the formation and development of the financial and investment markets, the opportunity and willingness to invest in information and communication technologies and their infrastructure on the part of the state and business.

It has been proven that at the end of the 20th century approaches to understanding the concepts of «information», «information resources» and their socio-economic significance are changing. This is related to the process of formation of the information economy. In the modern scientific paradigm, the issues of the terminology of the information economy are becoming decisive. The article considers approaches to defining the information economy as a new type of economic system. The theoretical and methodological content of this category is studied and its main characteristics are singled out. In addition, it has been proven that the course of socio-economic processes is influenced by information, knowledge, and innovations. Approaches to defining the essence ofthe category «information» and «information resources» are considered. The existing classifications of information and information resources have been studied. It is noted that information and information resources are a system-forming factor of life support of any socio-economic system. The article substantiates the importance of innovation and considers different views on the concept of «innovation» by foreign and domestic scientists.

The chapter is devoted to defining and substantiating the role of the information component in economic security. The essence of the concept of «economic security» is defined. The modern and most relevant opinions of scientists on the definition of «economic security» are studied. The works of scientists who studied the components of economic security and information security as a component of economic security are analyzed. The essence of the concept of «information system» and the generalized classification of information systems on various grounds, which is supplemented by a sign on the degree of vulnerability of information systems. The main goals of information security, its objects and sources of threats are considered. The sequence of assessment of the information component of economic security is proposed. The processes used in the analysis of information security as a component of economic security are studied and the directions of increase of the level of information security as a component of economic security are offered. Four main approaches to the assessment of information risks are considered and a list of stages of the process of their management is formed.
