Abstract
Aim. To classify the objects of reputational security aimed at enhancing the economic security of an enterprise, based on an analysis of several authorial approaches.
Objectives. To analyze existing approaches in the literature to defining the objects of reputational security; to identify the key objects of reputational security of an enterprise; to characterize the classification criteria; and to develop a classification of the objects of reputational security.
Methods. The author used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as methods of content analysis of scientific literature, data processing, and systematization.
Results. A classification of the objects of reputational security of an enterprise is developed. The main elements are identified and divided into groups and subgroups. These reflect the influence of internal and external factors on reputation, which is the result of the author’s original approach to diagnosing reputational threats.
Conclusion. The classification of the objects of reputational security of an enterprise, which includes internal, external, and digital objects, as well as aspects of risk management and control measures, provides a comprehensive approach to reputation protection. This appears critically important for the sustainable functioning and development of the organization.
