Abstract: The problems of discovering and evaluating vulnerabilities of organization security provoke great interest of both Russian and foreign researchers. This is caused by the fact that market economy conditions create a great number of risks and threats, both for and from personnel, which predetermines high demands for morals and ethics of employee's personality, his or her professional and psychological dependability. In her article Kuznetsova analyzes approaches to evaluation and identification of personnel vulnerabilities of organization security and describes their kinds, personnel vulnerabilities and professionally important qualities of personnel as well as personnel vulnerability before external environment. The main research method used by the author of the article is the expert survey (questionnaires given to human resources departments and security departments of Irkutsk organisations). To evaluate personnel vulnerabilities of organization security, the author has suggested to use a safe employee profile which is an empirically constructed combination of qualitative features (the most important qualities, personality traits and behavioral patterns) that are typical for employees whose activity do not create threats for organization security. Using this method, the author has described requirements for employees in terms of secure business and has assessed their intensity. The author has also evaluated opportunities of using the aforesaid profile in managing personnel security officials and underlines that the profile can be used in practical management of human resources, in particular, at the stages of hiring employees and their promotion and career development.
