Abstract
The rapid digitalization of governmental and financial systems has fundamentally transformed public administration, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity governance. While digital transformation promises efficiency, transparency, and inclusivity, it simultaneously introduces systemic vulnerabilities that challenge traditional policy evaluation models. This study develops a comprehensive, risk-based governance framework integrating cybersecurity oversight with input-output economic modeling, cost-benefit analysis, and multi-criteria decision analysis. Drawing upon literature on e-government implementation, intrusion detection and response systems, regulatory technology, input-output economics, and normative policy evaluation methods, this research proposes a unified analytical model for strategic cybersecurity governance. The framework moves beyond narrow financial valuation toward a multidimensional assessment of digital resilience, public value, and systemic interdependencies. Methodologically, the study synthesizes theoretical foundations from economic systems research, decision science, and cybersecurity engineering to construct an integrated evaluation architecture suitable for national digital infrastructures. The findings demonstrate that conventional cost-benefit approaches underestimate cascading cyber risks and intangible governance outcomes, while multi-criteria evaluation and expected utility analysis better capture policy trade-offs under uncertainty. By embedding cybersecurity governance within macroeconomic input-output structures, the research highlights how cyber disruptions propagate across sectors, reinforcing the necessity of coordinated regulatory and technological interventions. The discussion advances theoretical debates concerning normative evaluation beyond efficiency metrics and proposes institutional pathways for operationalizing strategic cybersecurity governance in digital states. The study concludes that resilient cybersecurity governance requires systemic modeling, adaptive regulatory technology, and pluralistic evaluation methodologies capable of reconciling economic, social, and technological objectives.
