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. jb ----- James Baird, CISSP, MCP Corporate Security Analyst Orkin, Inc. _____ From: Alt, Brandon C.

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?
