AB  - Economic security analysis requires an evaluation of potential threats to the economic activity of an
enterprise. These threats may be both internal and external. They are determined by various developmental
factors such as notably, political conditions, changes in product supply and demand, the state of the capital
market and the labor market as well as many others. Under the influence of these factors, the activity of any
enterprise undergoes fluctuations, forming a trajectory of development. Such a trajectory provides a highly
useful tool for analyzing an enterprise’s activity from the perspective of its economic security. The study aims
to introduce a methodological approach to economic security analysis of enterprises. The need for such
methodological tools has only recently become the subject of academic discussion. The approach proposed
in the study is twofold. First, it involves measuring the amplitude of the trajectory of the enterprise’s
development with respect to a safety corridor determined by acceptable rates of sales growth. Second, it
requires analyzing indicators that characterize the environment and the enterprise’s activity in order to
determine those that go beyond the safety corridor. The study describes two different analytic methods to
address the difference in stages of growth and decline in an enterprise’s business activity. This dual approach
results in data that identifies upper and lower limits of the safety corridor. This information will allow the
company’s management to focus its attention on eliminating factors that cause indicators to go beyond the
limits of the safety corridor, an approach that will result in safer and more stable development.
