ISO 27037: A part of the ISO 27000 series, it provides guidelines for specific activities in handling digital evidence, which includes the identification, collection, acquisition, and preservation of digital evidence. This standard plays a crucial role in incident responses, investigations, and legal proceedings. Compliance with ISO 27037 ensures that digital evidence is handled and preserved in a manner that upholds its accuracy, reliability, and integrity.

ISO 27041: Part of the ISO 27000 family, ISO 27041 provides guidance on effective assurance and methodologies for conducting investigations. It outlines criteria necessary for an investigation, helping organizations ensure that their processes are consistent, reliable, and effective.

ISO 27042: A part of the ISO 27000 series, ISO 27042 provides guidelines for the analysis and interpretation of digital evidence. This includes procedures for analysis, interpretation, attribution, and validation of digital evidence. Compliance with ISO 27042 ensures that organizations can accurately analyze and interpret digital evidence, supporting effective incident response, investigations, and legal proceedings.

ISO 27050: Part of the ISO 27000 family, ISO 27050 provides guidelines for electronic discovery (eDiscovery), including the identification, collection, and preservation of electronic information for legal proceedings. By adhering to ISO 27050, organizations can ensure they manage eDiscovery processes in a way that maintains the integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of electronic information, thereby upholding its evidential value.

ISO 28000: A standard for security management systems for the supply chain developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). While not part of the ISO 27000 series, this standard is relevant to information security because it covers aspects like the transportation and storage of goods, which can include data storage devices. Compliance with ISO 28000 helps to protect the supply chain from threats like theft, damage, or loss, which can compromise the security and integrity of data.

ISO 9001: A standard that sets out the criteria for a quality management system. This standard is based on a number of quality management principles, including a strong customer focus, the involvement of top management, a process approach, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Even though it is not directly related to cybersecurity, its principles can be applied to ensure high-quality processes and procedures are in place, which can indirectly contribute to maintaining data security and integrity.
