Subject. The article focuses on organizational and methodological issues of internal compliance control in e-commerce businesses. Objectives. We refine the design and technique of internal compliance control for e-commerce businesses. Methods. The study relies upon methods of analysis and generalization, grouping, systematization, risk-based, systems and business process approaches. Results. We devised the five-component compliance control sysem, determined its principles and functions ensuring the economic security of e-commerce businesses. We suggest conducting compliance procedures intended to mitigate IT risks and accounting for the specifics of e-commerce business processes. Conclusions and Relevance. In e-commerce, compliance control serves for identifying and monitoring compliance risks, ensuring safe operations of businesses, which is vital for people. The information system for IT risk protection was found to underlie compliance control, while control procedures can be classified into general and applied. The findings can be used to set up a reliable and effective compliance system for e-commerce businesses in order to prevent economic abuses and crime.
