There are several common security standards that are typically followed within Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems:

  1. ISO 27001: This is an international standard for information security management systems. It outlines a set of best practices for protecting sensitive data and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
  2. NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF): The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a set of guidelines and standards for managing cybersecurity risks. It provides a common language and framework for organizations to use when developing and implementing cybersecurity measures.
  3. COBIT 5: COBIT 5 (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology) is a framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT. It provides a set of best practices and guidelines for managing IT assets, processes, and resources.
  4. PCI DSS: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards for organizations that handle credit card transactions. It outlines a set of best practices for protecting sensitive financial data and reducing the risk of credit card fraud.
  5. HIPAA: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a set of regulations that protect the privacy of patient health information. It applies to organizations that handle protected health information (PHI), such as hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies.

By following these security standards, organizations can help to ensure that their IAM systems are secure and compliant with relevant regulations.
