One of the more popular recent approaches has come from the National
Security Agency in the form of the Information Security Methodology (NSA
IAM) approach which provides a framework for conducting and reporting on
assessments. It differs from other structured methodologies (COBIT, for
instance) in that it is not as detailed, however it provides better guidance
in some areas weakly covered by COBIT. 
Also, NIST has several documents that reflect on the structure and timing of
assessments as a part of an entire information security management plan.

Hi all.

 

            I have performed several vulnerability assessment and also
general security assessments and I was wondering how everyone else
structures their assessments. Anyone have any "standard" suggestions for the
structure of assessments? Any suggestions as to developing project plans for
various types? How do you do it?
