The simplest option is to send the X-Frame-Options header:
X-Frame-Options - HTTP | MDN[^]

This will work in Internet Explorer 8+, and all modern browsers.

For more complete control, set up a Content Security Policy (CSP), using the frame-ancestors directive:
Content-Security-Policy - HTTP | MDN[^]
CSP Cheat Sheet[^]
Report URI: Generate your Content Security Policy[^]

NB: The frame-ancestors directive is not supported by any version of Internet Explorer.
