Hi All,
We have had many audits in the past by 3 party vendors. My company is finally interested in performing some of these audits in house and a little more frequently than the annual 3rd party audits.
My question is, is there a software package, a "canned" audit that can be performed? Basic info gathering questions regarding authentication controls, network documentation(how and where it is stored), question that should be asked regarding wireless AP and other basic security questions?

Of course bear in mind whatever tools you use, you need the
pre-requisite knowledge to interpret the results (Nessus for example
gives a lot of false positives).
