Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article was to highlight to the importance of research and experimental development studies concerning methods for the protection of statistical databases, when the universal database management systems do not provide the mechanisms supporting the required security level of statistical bases. The study presents the basic models of controlling access and data flow, and it proves their limited relevance to statistical databases. Moreover, the specific nature of security issues as well as methods of attacking and protecting such databases were discussed. In conclusion, it was stated that Poland does not apply universally recognized, theoretical basics for the development of secure protection mechanisms of statistical databases. The work on data protection was fragmentary, distant from the possibilities of commercial implementation of the results. Therefore, there is a need for interdisciplinary work of the CSO and academic research teams.
