Cyber security standards typically refer to a list of rules or guidelines used by an organization or group to promote practices that ensure greater security of digital information and networks. This can include general rules that are implemented and enforced by security personnel at a company or organization. Some guidelines can also be more specific, and include rules such as requirements for password choice, different procedures for incorporating new people into a system, and practices regarding information for someone who has left. Cyber security standards can be established by one organization and adopted by others, or created specifically for the particular needs and concerns of a group.
The basic idea behind cyber security standards is for there to be a document that clearly indicates best practices and procedures for digital security. This can alleviate confusion among members of a group, and gives everyone a single point of reference for concerns over security issues. The nature and specific content of this document can vary quite a bit, though it usually serves the same general function.
