Summary/Abstract: The last ten years have seen a significant more than 10-fold increase in the number of cyber-attacks worldwide, resulting in an extremely large number of computer records being exposed to unauthorised persons. However, studies by independent international organisations reveal that 95% of these attacks exploiting security breaches could have been prevented. This paper reviews the main international and national standards related to the establishment of security policies and data processing procedures that are able to prevent cyber attacks on personal data, especially in the context of the Internet of Things. The analysis is a qualitative one aimed at highlighting best practices through security policies and processing procedures.
