Abstract: This article presents the results of the first two stages of a research project “Contemporary tools for security assessment”, conducted by a research team from the Department “National and Regional Security” at the University of Na­tional and World Economy and the Center for Strategic Studies in Defense and Security. The methodology of the study is presented – object, tasks, basic approaches, methods used in the study. The elevated hypothesis is that the model application to assess the level of security that ensures objectivity, repeatability and compa­rability of the results will lead to the improvement of the decision making in the field of security. The existing theories of evaluation and mea­surement of security are discussed, a need to se­curity assessment is justified and possible ways to the assessment are defined. One of the mod­els developed in the study – model for assessing the security of large settlements is presented in more details. The essential conclusions of the first two phases of the study are presented
