National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Reason: NIST publishes both the Cybersecurity Framework and a dedicated NIST Privacy Framework that address protection of personal data and privacy. (ISO also publishes privacy standards — e.g., ISO/IEC 27701 — while FISMA is a U.S. law and FIPS are federal standards, not standard-publishing organizations.)
