Abstract: Indicators of ensuring sovereignty cannot be aggregated and estimates should be given for a separate area or type of activity under consideration. Therefore, sovereignty can be considered systematically and structurally, depending on the industry or field of activity, which will allow us to focus on improving the effectiveness of the legal regulation mechanism. Increasing threats in the information sphere have actualized the task of ensuring sovereignty. The technical, technological and social components of the information sphere are the factors of its provision. The term “technological sovereignty” is often used, which affects the information sphere, but is not limited to it. On the other hand, not all the subject area of technological sovereignty solves the issues of the information sphere. “Digital” or network sovereignty shifts the emphasis in favor of the digital space created and mastered on the basis of digital technologies in the information and telecommunications network of the Internet. However, the assessment of sovereignty in the information sphere from the perspective of digital technologies only significantly narrows the scope of both scientific research and the possibilities of legal regulation, since in addition to digital, analog and quantum types of information technologies are distinguished, acting as a guarantee of national security and ensuring state sovereignty. It is the term “information sovereignty” that covers all the priority areas of the national state policy in the information sphere. Information sovereignty is the ability of a state to independently form an information policy and the ability to ensure security in the information sphere regardless of external influence.
