Cybersecurity Standards Scorecard (2022 Edition)
In the 1990s government agencies, industry groups, and cybersecurity researchers started creating cybersecurity standards and these standards led to cybersecurity regulations and laws that dictate to organizations what they must do to protect their data.

Every year more standards are released and the confusion grows. To make the problem even more challenging, no two standards are the same, nor do they even cover the same scope of defenses.
