Security Standards and Frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS)

Why Security Standards and Frameworks Matter

Security standards and frameworks provide structured, widely recognized guidelines that help organizations build, assess, and improve their security programs consistently.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is an international standard for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS), helping organizations systematically manage information security risks.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, provides a flexible set of guidelines organized around five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

PCI-DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) sets specific security requirements for organizations that handle credit card transactions, aiming to protect cardholder data from theft and fraud.
