Beyond your own network and in-house security, there are third parties involved, whether for products or services, as collaborators or in other capacities.

Some cyber security standards and compliance requirements are voluntary. These are not necessitated by law, but industry associations and regulatory authorities recommend adherence to these compliance standards. Some of the reputed ones are NIST, CIS Controls, ISO 31000, and COBIT. There are several other specialized laws and compliance requirements, such as FERPA, ITAR, COPPA, and NERC CIP Standards.
