The article deals with the problem of quantifying the security of objects of the penal correction system based on mathematical modeling. The authors propose a modified genetic algorithm in which the traditional fitness function is replaced by a mechanism of "virtual movement" of individuals in a discrete space, which allows taking into account both the individual characteristics of safety measures and their cumulative impact. A step-by-step example of applying the algorithm to choosing the optimal set of protective measures based on expert assessments based on several criteria is given. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for solving multi-criteria tasks of assessing and improving security in conditions of uncertainty and the absence of an explicit analytical relationship between system parameters.
