The digitalization process that emerged with the rapid development of technology, together with technologies such as the internet of things, blockchain, big data and artificial intelligence, causes radical changes in business processes and social structure and requires a holistic transformation to adapt to the needs of society. It emphasizes the importance of increasing the user-oriented service delivery with the digitalization process, enabling the public administration and the use and cost-effectiveness of the services carried over to the E-Government. In addition, it is important to provide services with high added value for social use, to prepare user-friendly interfaces and to ensure a sustainable structure of corporate information systems. While the rapid development and spread of the e-Government application facilitates the use of the service; it is not enough to produce domestic and national innovative technologies and to create infrastructures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the preparation and implementation stages of an efficient and effective security management plan in the E-Government system where information security is the key factor. Within the scope of the study, risk factors are determined by creating an index system with a hierarchical structure in order to effectively model the risk assessment of information security. Within the scope of the determined structure, the evaluation model constructed with the fuzzy decision-making technique is revealed and it is determined that the main criteria with the highest importance in risk assessment are application and data security.
