I am in the process of doing an audit on various portions of our IT
infrastructure. I wanted to know everyone's opinions on what the preferred
metric system is. I've been researching OCTAVE - my objective is to provide
a report with a scheme that easily reflects the status based on our current
policy. Something like pass,fail or compliance % - just brainstorming here

We've always done tests based on what we can actually measure.  We try to 
represent findings in terms that clearly articulate what we measured.  As far 
as methodologies that we've seen, evaluated, and used, I have had the best 
practical results by using the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual 
(www.OSSTMM.org) from the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies 
(www.ISECOM.org).
