An international standard that provides a model for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
A strategic model that assumes no implicit trust. It requires strict verification for every user, device, and application regardless of location.
An extension of ISO 27001, this standard is ideal for organizations handling sensitive personal data, aligning with laws like GDPR and CCPA.
Focuses on software security, with frameworks like ASVS and SAMM to help developers build secure-by-design applications.

The What & Why. Cyber law is the "rulebook." It defines what is legally required, prohibits certain behaviors (like cybercrime), and establishes legal consequences for non-compliance.
The How. A framework is the "action plan." It provides a structured guide and set of best practices for organizations to achieve compliance with cyber laws and manage risks effectively.
