The OSSTMM is not a Standard that many would think. It is a methodology
that takes into account all the standards that you must comply with and
creates a new customized standard for your organization.
A friend of mine wrote a whitepaper on the OSSTMM and how to use it to
find your company's Perfect Security Standard. You can find it at:

I submit this for your review.

Can I ask what people think of the OSST and the Methodology laid down in the
OSSTM Manual?
Another question, especially for those UK residents - how well respected is
the OSST Methodology?
I am thinking of including this in our standard internal dest practice set.
We aleady use the HMG InfoSec Standards 1 & 3 and CRAMM for Risk Assessment,
the ITIL Security Model for Security Change & Incident Management but we are
currently lacking when it comes to a decent Testing Standard.
