For an IT professional looking to implement a cybersecurity framework that covers personal data and privacy, the best choice among the options provided would be the **National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)**.
NIST publishes a comprehensive framework for improving cybersecurity, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and guidelines related to protecting personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data. Their guidelines are widely recognized and adopted across various industries to address privacy and data protection effectively.
The other options, while relevant to cybersecurity and information security, do not specifically focus on personal data and privacy to the same extent as NIST's frameworks.
