In the era of increasing digitization and dependence on information technologies, cybersecurity is becoming a key element of critical infrastructure management. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a vital role in monitoring, analyzing, and managing infrastructure assets. This paper explores the integration of national cybersecurity standards with GIS systems, focusing on critical infrastructure security management. A literature review and case studies of cybersecurity standards implementation in GIS systems allow for the identification of the main challenges and requirements. The article also presents methods of risk assessment and incident management in the context of GIS. The results of the research indicate the need for close cooperation between cybersecurity professionals and GIS users to ensure comprehensive protection of critical infrastructure. The article concludes with practical conclusions and proposals for future research directions in the area of integration of cybersecurity standards with GIS systems.
