Abstract: The purpose of the research is to determine the opportunities and risks of digitalization of socio-economic policy. Theoretical analysis of foreign and Russian literature allowed us to assess the readiness and ability to implement modern digital (software) products in the public administration ecosystem. Based on the analysis of digital systems and platforms "Gosuslugi", "Gosoblako", "Gostech", EGISSO, GIS "Unified Centralized Digital Platform in the Social Sphere", GIS "Work in Russia", the directions of digital transformation of the social sphere were identified. The method of expert assessments was used to identify the causes and conditions of transformation processes. Subject of the research - digitalization processes of socio-economic policy in the Russian Federation. Objectives of the research. To systematize the barriers and opportunities for digitalization. To analyze the indicators of digital transformation of the public sector. Particular attention is paid to foreign and Russian experience in digitalization of the analyzed sectoral policy, generating positive changes and expanding multiplier and cross-sectoral effects. The introduction of modern digital (software) products into the ecosystem of socio-economic policy allows us to ensure its effectiveness, transparency and accessibility, improve the quality of life and the quality of social services provided. Triggers and drivers of digitalization in the long term contribute to increasing national security and sustainability of national development of Russia. At the same time, the positive narrative of digitalization often faces certain barriers in the process of implementing digital projects. As a result, the author proposes to classify the risks of digitalization - according to spheres - ethical, political, economic, social, reputational, institutional (integrity of institutions); according to the assessment of what is happening - objective and subjective; according to the level - international, federal, regional, local; according to the specific conditions of origin - endogenous and exogenous. Some recommendations are given for public authorities. It is indicated that the introduction of digital solutions in the sphere of socioeconomic policy requires a balanced approach, taking into account both their transformative potential and risks. Active informing of citizens about digital (including platform) solutions is required. For doing this, it is necessary to involve opinion leaders, communication channels in accordance with return preferences (messengers, traditional media, social advertising, etc.), family MFCs, public authorities and other actors
