I understand why you may think it should be NIST and not GDPR, however, I need to point out the fact that many seem to focus on the wrong keyword. I believe the right keyword here is "Data privacy and sharing" NOT "International" NIST: is responsible for developing cybersecurity standards across U.S. Federal Government GDPR is concerned MAINLY with data and its privacy, sharing, processing and everything that has to do with sensitive data. This is my reasoning. Best of luck to you all. In stoneface we trust

Selected Answer: B
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy regulation enacted by the European Union (EU) to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens. It sets strict standards for the collection, processing, and sharing of personal data, and applies to organizations that handle the data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is located. As a CISO creating a policy set that meets international standards for data privacy and sharing, understanding GDPR is essential, especially if the organization handles data of EU residents or has a global presence. GDPR's requirements and principles should inform the policies to ensure compliance with data protection laws and best practices related to data privacy and security.

Heres the problem. The question says "International", which would include Europe. And to comply with Europe you Must comply with GDPR.

I don't understand how European regulatory framework became the standard for Intertional framework ? The question mentioned nothing about Europe. I will go with NIST which the true International Security Framework National Institute of Standards and Technology - NIST Cybersecurity Framework: NIST provides a framework that organizations can use to manage and improve their cybersecurity posture. It includes guidelines and best practices for managing and protecting sensitive information

If an European company wants to transfer data to any other country, that country must abide by GDPR, even if GDPR doesn't apply to that country. So GDPR is enforcing a set of rules re data processing, ownership, sharing, types of data, how long they must be kept, etc.

GDPR can use not only on Europe. Companies can use GDPR regardless on their location. My reference is my Sec+ book by Darril Gibson. Hope it helps :)

The key here is "Which of the following should the CISO read and understand before writing the policies?" If the CISO reads and understands GDPR which is a stringent European standard related to protecting personal data and privacy, it will provide the CISO useful information to write international policies.

I don't understand, GDPR isn't related to international standards. Yes, it covers an area of the world but not the whole world.
