Abstract: The article addresses the mechanism of democratic control over the institutions of the national security system as a factor in strengthening the population’s resilience against significant risk, which generally represents threats to the security of individuals. One of the ways in which social resilience can be operationalized is a democratic control over institutions of national security sector, mainly due to its dependence on factors such as public confidence in these institutions and mutually beneficial cooperation, sense of safety and well-being, affiliation to common social and national values etc. All these are forms of expression in genuine democratic societies, where institutions serve the public interest and civil society exercises effectively its control role over their operation.
