Abstract: This paper is devoted to developed description of informative model of the user, who may be under the threat of socioengineering attack, and some other models, which is connected to the first one: users group model, model of control area, informative objects (documents) model. Specified informative model are included into the base for analyzing of the protection of users of informative system from socioengineering attack. Informative model of the user allows to consider name and surname of the user, his post in the organization, belongings of user to user group, and vulnerability of the user on socioengineering attacks. informative model of user group allows to consider name of user group, it’s description, allows for different atomic actions which user can perform with informative objects, type of access to information objects and information objects, which this group of users can use. Informative model of control area allows to consider name of control area and it’s description. Information model of information objects includes damage estimation of losses of confidentially, losses of integrity and losses of sufficiency. The example of socioengineering attack is brought. Development of this attack is described through suggested informative models.

Keywords: informative model, user, informative system, socioengineering attack, malefactor.
