"Standards" cover what the system does. "Best practices" cover how it's done.
Best practices (generally opinions based on reasoning): language choice, KISS/DRY/YAGNI, linter rules, unit tests, static vs dynamic linking.
Standards (de-facto, at least): ISO, RFCs, PCI, and whatever is relevant for the industry the solution is for.
