This paper analyzes modern cyber risk assessment methods and their applicability to SMEs. Based on a comparison of international and domestic approaches, the study identifies promising models that combine analytical rigor with implementation simplicity. The findings highlight the need for scalable and accessible risk assessment frameworks tailored to resource-constrained organizations with low digital maturity.
