What international standard describes requirements for an information security management system (ISMS)?



EXPLANATION

"Standards aren’t the same as regulations and following a standard doesn’t guarantee that you’re within the relevant laws."

GDPR is a data privacy law/regulation created by the European Union (EU). It has an "extra-territorial effect" to protect data belonging to EU citizens and residents. This not only applies to EU-based organizations but also that in another region, which target or collect data related to people from European Economic Area (EEA).

ISO 27000 has an overview of ISMS and it contains terms and definitions.
ISO 27002 has guidelines and it's optional. However, there are useful tips related to the implementation of controls and requirements, which are provided in ISO 27001.
